Finding a Pet Sitter
When your pets tend to the exotic side, finding someone to care for them while you are away can be a real challenge. Your usual pet sitters may not be so keen on handling more unusual pets (or their food, depending on the pet!). Before you commit to a life with your pet, make sure you will be able to find someone to look after your pet when you can't.

Finding a Veterinarian for Your Exotic Pet
Getting an exotic pet can be a big mistake if you cannot find a vet to provide the medical care your pet may need. You must find a vet who is willing to see exotic pets, knows about exotics, and has the facilities to treat them. Always develop a good working relationship with an exotic animal vet before you desperately find yourself needing one in an emergency.
