Pets other than cats and dogs are extremely popular and their numbers are on the increase. The rabbit is now the third most popular mammalian pet in the UK. In addition to small mammals, many people keep birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates as pets. In many veterinary practices, these so-called exotic pets make up a significant proportion of the patient caseload and some practices now offer specialist expertise in exotic pets. This chapter is designed to give information on the species of animals kept as exotic pets; the advantages and disadvantages of exotic pets; basic biology, anatomy and husbandry requirements of exotic pets; how to handle and determine the sex of exotic pets and wildlife safely and humanely; how to recognize the signs of pain and disease in exotic pets and wildlife; how to administer basic medication to exotic pets and wildlife.
