Please, for the sake of the animal, be committed to the long haul. Realize you have a responsibility to the animal, the exotic pet industry, the general public and your own dignity. Exotic pets are very time consuming. Depending on the pet it could take hours every day to train, discipline and care for your exotic pet. Just the domestication process alone can be very taxing in time and patience.
Most people acquire a pet for one of several reasons.
They want it for companionship, for the novelty or for sheer enjoyment. These pets are exotic primarily because they come out of the wild and are not naturally tame or social with people. Therefore, some time and energy must be given in order to convert a normally wild animal or bird into a loving, pet quality, tame pet which has adequately bonded to its new owner. Time to study and become informed about an exotic pet, time to look for and search for an exotic pet and time to find the best exotic pet available are just a few of the time management steps exotic pets demand of us. Every exotic pet I have owned or taken care of has given back countless moments of joy and happiness.
