I grew up on a South African farm, we had a few Meerkat families living on the farm, the home family was only about 20 meters from the back door, They would come right up to the back door and helped themselves to the dog bicuits we left out for the Boerboel and BullMastiff dogs would always be on the back of my dad's pickup truck just for incase my dad was going to jump in and leave them behind. The baby Meerkats (very small, they kind of look like tiny rats or mice) would come into the kitchen and take up residence behind the old wood stove we had in the back kitchen. The mothers would come back after a day of foraging or a battle/war they had on with other colonies/families of meerkats who all wanted the best spot, close to the back door for food and milk. So they became very tamed and ruled over all the Cats and Dogs (They are a lot smarter than Dogs or Kats) What made them the Generals of the Household animal army was that they were in a cahoots with the other smarter "thing" Crows. That was a combination that no Dog, Kat or even my younger brother could outsmart. The Crow would keep a lookout while the Meerkats ransacked the Kitchen, and because they always wanted to carry off more than they could carry, they left a breadcrumb trail for the Crow to vacuum up.

Just to clarify--a small tank is not appropriate for an axolotl (yes, I own one). The axolotl is a high-bioload pet who requires a *minimum* tank size of twenty gallons for one.

[@ArtaherDuron]

As a proud owner of my 3 year old common snapper who started in a 75 gal tank, 2nd tank was 180 gal fiberglass tank 5ft long & currently lives in a 400 gallon 8ft long tank. 20gals is a very small tank 😂 Jokes aside, the actual recommendation for a single adult Axolotl is the Largest Small tank & the Smallest Medium tank. 15gal long - Largest Small tank 20gal long - Smallest Medium tank Multiple sites & breeders agree.

[@TJay41]

Thanks for sharing that information, not that I was thinking of getting one but it is really helpful to know

[@davidvento5481]

Axolotls also require cool water/unheated aquariums (mid 60s to low 70s). People living in warmer climates often use “aquarium water coolers” to maintain optimal temps. They are the larval/“tadpole” phase of the Tiger Salamander. Herpetologists speculate that pollutants in the air or on the land of their native habitat may cause them to halt their metamorphosis into their completely terrestrial adult form. They are sensitive to water perimeters (ph, temp, etc) and should only be housed with other similarly-sized axolotls. Aggressive fish or aquatic turtles can damage their delicate, external gills which often proves fatal. They are shy animals and enjoy a well planted aquarium with a cave large enough to hide in.

[@Jinx958]

Thank you for saying this! I own one too and don't see people saying this enough!

[@facetiouslyinsolent8313]

Just because you "can" own them as pets doesn't mean you should. There are so few "rare" shelters for these animals after people realize they don't make the best pets.

I agree there’s nothing cute about a snake. Hell no they’re the worst creatures ever I don’t give a rats. I don’t care. What’s my opinion. I hate them. They’re a devil creature the only cute animal is the fox like he was saying that whatever that’s the cutest one I like that but snakes or the salamander thing goes in the fish tank whatever they’re cute but snakes hell no I will never accept them especially one I deleted Python or broken constructor was killing squeezing the hell out of this one horse was pregnant horse about died.

I’m terrified of snakes and the tarantula for a pet you’re out of your living mine there’s nothing cute about reptiles Harry Styles for One Direction hates snakes as much as I do

[@HarleyHerbert]

Plus many of these animals end up dying, developing serious health conditions or living very miserable lives. Often their owners aren't even aware they're not caring for them properly, just assuming they know what they're doing without any proper preparation or research into the needs of these creatures

[@bonnitaclaus2286]

No… not my next pet. Whenever I get an animal, other than a dog and a cat, I have to do research. I have to learn as much as I can learn. Not only feeding and care, but diseases as well. If I get sick, you need to recognize that poor is getting sick. There’s so much more do you have a movie exotic pet. When I decided to have chickens, it took months before I got my first chick. I had to build the proper enclosure, a pin, where they would be safe from predators. Learn about nutrition, and the different stages of growth. Yes, I was very successful, and I learned a lot that was not in Books and other learn from other people. The problem is you have to know what questions to ask.

[@CornStar1313]

The exotic pet trade has been booming and results in so many of these beautiful animals suffering and dying, and huge numbers of them reduced in the wild. I'm really shocked it's being encouraged on here. Many people get these animals and they end up suffering and dying as well because the owner hasn't done enough research or simply doesnt provide it. I'll never understand people who get animals like baby monkeys, lemurs and any primate. Imagine what the trauma poor baby's mother went through having her baby taken, as well as the baby. My heart breaks for them both. A baby primate's best parent would be the mother that gave birth to her, not someone wanting to put it in diapers and dlothes for social media. These animals are very social and thrive and are always happiest with their own kind. I would love to have several of these animals listed too, but because I care for them so much I want them in the wild where they are free, thrive and have access to proper food and environment. That said, anyone who does have reptiles and various exotics who has done their research, providing adequate space and proper care is at least better. I've seen some that look happy, yet ownership applies to only a few species. That said, a python, iguana, cuckatoo or any other exotic's preferred habitat is not your couch, cage or house. If you have done your research, or have common sense you already know that. I've seen so many animals on vet shows miserable and/or dying because the owner has no clue what they're doing, even simple but vital things like temperatures, proper diet and basic sunshine. Like a 6 month old baby monkey the owner refused to keep quarantined until she built immunity. She didn't let others touch her, but had her among people like a side show. Being a primate she got herpes from someone, and this little baby suffered terribly unable to eat with sores in her mouth, swollen eyes, and uncontrollable shaking for weeks until she was euthanized. People really should just leave them where they belong in their natural habitats and leave them be.

[@Littlewildone0]

I agree. The monkey trade just makes me furious.

[@lolocaust4967]

I just said the exact same thing. Channels really shouldn't be promoting their ownership. People with a genuine interest and the required dedication to care for them will seek them out themselves.

[@CornStar1313]

@Littlewildone0 It's outright disgusting and I have no idea why many of these animals are allowed to be owned. Seriously people, go to a shelter and get one of the millions of animals who really DO need a home.

[@omptt7057]

That is absolutely horrible and heart breaking, but true at the same time! Just because you can have one does not mean you should, these poor innocent lives end up suffering because of humans ignorance and selfishness. I rather stick with our house cats wich i’m very content with!

[@omptt7057]

⁠​⁠@@lolocaust4967they should not in the first place, that’s the problem! A monkey should not be living with humans but their own kind, in their right habitat where they belong! The ONLY accepted exeption is when they are in need of human help (like a sanctuary or rescue center) where they may not be able to be released back into the wild. And this goes for ANY exotic animal.

[@Paula-sw2tt]

I totally disagree with this about hermit crabs. Do NOT paint their shells! And most keepers do not provide proper husbandry. They are much harder to keep than most people think! Axolotls need cold water which can be difficult to maintain in a home environment, but sure are cute. Degus are chewers! I have kept them in the past. One of the snakes you showed when talking about ball pythons was a rainbow boa which is not a beginner snake! I adore my trantulas and adults do not need to be fed that often! Macaws are a handful indeed! Beardies need large enclosures are a poop machines. Leopard geckos are much easier to keep than beardies. Leos need at least a twenty gallon. Very few people catch food poisoning from reptile pets NO monkeys do not make good pets for almost anyone. I only know one marmoset that is being taken properly cared for.

This needs to be clearer about chinchilla temperature requirements. They don't tolerate temps above 75F/21C. You might want a generator for your air conditioner, just in case. They don't like temps below 60F/15.5C, either. I'm seeing a little disagreement online, but only by a few degrees. I'll add one to the list: the tegu, an affectionate lizard, described as having a temperament like an old dog.

[@gigicostlow4414]

Tegus can be nice pets but they are high maintenance and most people don't have room for a 4+ foot long lizard.

[@MeanGinia9607]

Do your research PLEASE. Your hermit crab info is misleading or just down right wrong. With the proper care, they can live over 30 years. The set-up can be expensive but once done, it's fairly low maintenance. They need a habitat that is temp and humidity controlled. Cold and breezes kill them quickly. They also need fresh and saltwater pools to fully submerge in because they have gills that must be kept moist. NEVER paint or use painted shells. The crabs will eat or absorb the paint through it's skin and it's toxic to them. They also need at least 10 inches of substrate to burrow in so they can safely shed. And hermit crabs do make noises, clicks and even a scream when distressed. Please do better.

[@Numb217]

Thank you. No wonder mine always died when changing shells. The pet store gave me none of this info. I had a small enclosure with water available. No temperature control and definitely no salt water.

[@gigicostlow4414]

Another thing is they can't have water that has chlorine in it. Many people give them tap water and that's a big no no. Their water, both fresh and salt, need to be dechlorinated first. I could never understand why someone wanted to paint their shells. Natural shells are very pretty without paint. Why ruin them with ugly paint? I had 3, years ago and had them several years. The guy that gave them to me had them a long time so didn't know how old they really were but they were old when they finally died.

It really sickens me that people take in these exotic animals and then when they get tired of them, they let them loose. All you have to do is look at Florida in the python’s situation exotic animals need to be in their natural habitat. Most humans are not responsible enough to take care of them.

[@wraith1320]

Sadly, I’ve found that most humans are not responsible enough to take care of ANY animal… Look no further for evidence than one of the most horrific invasive species crises in history: Australia’s feral cat population, which threatens dozens of native species with extinction. There are no native felines in Australia. The animals there are not equipped to contend with a predator as versatile, relentless, and efficient as the domestic cat. Quite frankly, bringing them into the country was a terrible idea. Still, no one questioned it… because they’re /domestic/ cats. Believe me, the level of destruction Australia is facing because of invasive cats is far worse than what Florida is facing with pythons… So the question is… how was it any more morally or ethically sound for people in Australia to keep domestic cats than for people in the U.S. to keep pythons? Should we only allow native species as pets? Should we require that all pets be contained by fences, tethers, cages, etc.? I don’t have an answer to that. I just know that calling out exotic pets as destructive or dangerous, while ignoring equal or greater threats posed by common, domesticated pets is a double standard-one that often makes people overlook their responsibility to keep ANY pet from becoming a menace to others, or to the environment as a whole.

[@paulbreslin2263]

There is some bad information in this video. Hyacinth macaws and any birds are terrible pets. Yes for certain people but you have to be a very special person. There is a lot to deal with. These animals become very attached to you. They suffer from separation anxiety and depression and will turn on themselves ripping out their feathers until they bleed. If they don’t get their way or what they want like to be with you when you want to mow the lawn or go to the store they will scream incessantly and at unbearable decibels. The vet bills are enormous should you need one. And the right food toys and cages are very expensive. These birds do not get the proper sized cages most of the time. It should be way bigger than a pet store recommends. For example a flight cage. They should never be handled or left unsupervised with a child. Remember they can crack a Brazil nut like nobody’s business. They throw their food all over and they crap everywhere. Cockatoos are all of the above plus shed unbelievable amounts of white powdery dust all over. When you get done handling a cockatoo , your hands are covered in it. It’s not fair to keep an animal this beautiful and majestic that was born to fly and spread their wings trapped in a cage

[@wraith1320]

Wait… why is it hard to get “real meat” for a ferret to eat? Meat seems significantly easier to find and purchase than “Ferret Food”. Also… dogs and cats started out wild. We domesticated them… Selective breeding for temperament and other desirable traits is pretty much the standard for breeding any species… so in that sense, we’re just continuing to domesticate animals. What’s the problem? Primates excluded, of course. LOTS of problems, there… but not so much with ferrets, sugar gliders, chinchillas, etc…

I used to have a squirrel. My son found him as a newborn baby and we raised him. I got up every 2 hours to bottle feed him, I took care of him and when he was able to move around on his own and eat solid foods, I would bring him out back to the Oak tree for a few hours during the day. Squirrels are so affectionate and love to be around their people, they love to snuggle, get pets, and play. I cant tell you how much they play, its almost constant when they are awake, unless they are eating. They can get aggressive around food though, ours didnt like my mother, and he would go out of his way to bite her, and chase her. It was bad, they have a very strong bite force, and draw blood. I dont know why he didnt like her, but he didnt. I loved that squirrel more than anything, I really did. I was so attached to him, he really made me happy and made my day better just being with him. Its sad and unfortunate, but someone left our sliding glass door open one day and the cat got out, by the time I realized it, it was too late. I walked out to see my cat eating my squirrel!!! I was so upset, I cried for weeks, I still miss him and wish he was here, I wish I wouldve known the door was open, I wish I went out back earlier. I think squirrels can make great pets but I dont recommend unless you have a lot of time to devote to them every day, and can afford all they require, as it can get pricey with the right foods, and supplements and basics. They are very intelligent, loving little creature. I would be thrilled to have another someday.

Squirrels are highly territorial. Thats why he bit ur mother I've also read that they don't bond as well with other ppl

[@ChloesColdEars111]

@@kitteylovesu yes, you are so right about them being territorial, I had a nice enclosure he would spend some nights in, when he wasnt sleeping inside the house in my daughters stuffed animal hammock, and it was situated in my back porch under the porch roof out of the elements where my mother would go to smoke her cigarettes, and thats where it all started with the attacking. He would literally see her and jump 6 feet straight up to her shoulders and try to bite her face!! After that, I moved his enclosure to the back of the house under 3 nice palm trees and put a tarp under the cage and over it, and thats where he had his "safe place." Also when we first found Stewie, he was just a new baby with barely any fur and eyes still closed, needing to be bottle fed every 2 hours, and since I wasnt working at the time, I took most of the feedings while my son started off helping with a few during the day, but he couldnt keep up with the schedule so my mother would come take a few to give me a break so he shouldve bonded well enough with everyone, but he didnt, as he got older he only wanted and was sweet and gentle with myself and my daughter, who was 7 and always picking him up and playing with him. But tehy are amazing affectionate creatures. I miss Stew everyday.

Forget Degus not using the wheel at night because they are active at night. Our Degus were rapidly kicked out of our daughter's room and moved to the living room because of the racket they made on the wheel overnight.

thank you! Glad someone on here has the voice of reason - There really shouldn't be any videos promoting exotic pets (wild animals) in the first place! Just encouraging bad practice. @@silvermainecoons3269

Growing up, I often helped my dad take care of Oscar, his pet tarantula. I’m okay with spiders, but some do give me the willies. Oscar was a cool pet. He liked getting brushed with his small toothbrush, and getting to race around on the dining room table in the evenings. He didn’t mind me stroking him ether. He had such a soft coat.

[@wraith1320]

Awww, what a sweetie! I love tarantulas-I could never figure out why some people find them spooky. They’re fluffy! 🤣 Do you know what species Oscar was?

[@QueenSunstar]

@@wraith1320 He was a Singapore Blue. Dark brown body, black legs. One leg was white. He had a white spot on his back.

[@annaedwards6004]

There is a LOT of misinformation in this video! If you decide to get one of these animals, or ANY animal, please PLEASE do your research!! These are living beings and require special care. The number of animals in this video that end up dumped because owners can't care for them properly or just got "bored" is astonishing.

Uh correction- hermit crabs don’t rarely pinch, you need to hold them a certain way to avoid them from pinching!

half of these should be on a seperate list called exotic animals you *could* own as a pet but definitely never should.

I love meerkats. My desktop photo is a mum and 2 babies and I have plenty of ornaments of them and my other favourite, ducks. I had a Jack Russell cross female but she started taking fits and I had her put down. She's been gone 2 years and I still miss her.

I guess you could call me a weird arachnophobe Because I don't like a lot of spiders I'm terrified of a lot of them but for some reason tarantulas don't really scare me that much like they're more like an animal to me than a spider Also spiders are freaking adorable and any kind of jumping spider

I was disappointed that I pretty much had to listen to your voice during the whole video, when I really wanted to hear what the (vocal) creatures sounded like! Granted, what you had to say was informative…but interjecting animal sounds into the monotone of the human voice would have been a nice addition! (And I don’t mean your cutesy made up voices!)
