How much does a routine exotic vet exam cost?

Which species fall under exotic pet veterinary care?

Exotic care covers small mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, chinchillas), birds (parrots, songbirds, poultry), reptiles (bearded dragons, geckos, snakes, turtles), and amphibians. Most clinics do not treat native wildlife, primates, or venomous species.

What should I bring to an exotic pet's first appointment?

Transport your pet in a secure, temperature-regulated carrier or container suitable for their species. Bring a fresh stool sample collected within 12 hours, photos of their home habitat setup, and a list of their current diet and supplements.

Can you have a fennec fox as a pet?
