Welcome to MASpets! A channel dedicated to providing high quality information about exotic, alternative, and unique pets, as well as traditional ones. This channel supports the freedom of pet owners to care for the species of their choice as long as that animal has been shown to thrive in human care under the right conditions. We strongly believe that facts and education, not admonition, is the best policy for encouraging potential pet keepers to choose the best pet for their living situation. We believe there is no such thing as a ‘good pet’, and do not promote any particular species as pets, however we understand that the desire of some to own something different is essential to their expression and existence as an individual. Whether you are considering a pet, or are just interested in the subject, this channel invites you to become informed about the exciting world of animal diversity.
There are hundreds of species of exotic pets! Some examples include: fennec fox, porcupine, serval, wallaby, boa constrictor, rainbow crab, bush baby, zebra, squirrels, ostrich, kinkajou, macaws, springhare, lemur, leopard gecko, tarantula, capybara, sloth, owl, cockatoo, muntjac deer, lion, short-tailed opossum, raccoon, scorpion, green iguana, and more.
Domesticated exotic pets include domestic rats, hamster, gerbil, goldfish, guinea fowl, Bengal cat, peacock, fainting goats, and sugar gliders.
We post introductory videos to animals that can be kept as pets, care tips, address controversies, legal issues, and more. Please see the posted links for more information about this subject!

Infant mortality rates in the wild is pretty high aswell, around 65% Cubs die before 6 months and 30% of adults die annually according to a study, most deaths are human related. Red panda numbers have decreased by >50% since 1997. It’s a pretty solitary animal and most views of red panda in packs are just a female with bigger Cubs.

[@RedSiegfried]

I certainly can. If we were allowed to have them as pets, we wouldn't have to worry about them going extinct. But some people think wild animals are better off going extinct than being tamed and eventually domesticated. I don't agree with that kind of thinking. And just saying "don't destroy their habitat" is not thinking practically. It's being destroyed, the species is having a hard time and just saying "just stop destroying their habitat" and passing laws that don't get enforced isn't working. We need to start breeding them for domestication if we want to save the species. Just like any other mammal, if they are raised by humans as cubs, they'll be very tame and safe to have as pets - far less dangerous than a dog.

[@fleurmal7648]

Don't think so, I could not find any info on any states where it is legal to keep them as pets. The only ones in the USA should be in zoos or with other animal wildlife caretakers.

[@Maspets]

@@fleurmal7648 Most states aren't going to explicitly state that red pandas aren't legal. You need to look at the law that regulates exotic animal possession. They'd only be illegal in states that have a "white list" for allowable animals or mention Ailuridae as an illegal family or Carnivora. They should be legal in New York and North Carolina. That doesn't mean you'll find one.

[@laurateaho-white9654]

No, they should not be kept as pets. They are endangered, solitary, and arboreal species. They prefer not to hang around people. They don't want hours of cuddles. Their needs are complex. They need enclosures that are large enough to house mature trees and a bamboo forest. Very few veterinarians know how to care for them. So if you have one in your care, prepare to travel long distances and pay a leg and arm for their medical needs.

What are you talking about? Firefox logo is a fox... They did however adopt red panda as a "cute mascot" for their browser. Also 1:20 two alive members. There are two extinct members too (one of which is a giant red panda fossil found in North America. That is also thought to have gone extinct 5 million years ago.) Along with so much more of the video is just fake information.

[@Maspets]

If you want to cop an attitude for no reason I can just remove your comments. There's no "fake" information here, several sources say it's a red panda and if they changed their mind now, fine, it's not like that actually matters, nor do I care if I only list extant species. That is perfectly acceptable and you know it, so you'll have to find another channel to mouth off on.
