«Despite the fact that nearly 12.6 million of the 60 million pet - owning households in the U.S. own exotic pets,» said Hess, «
exotic pet owners still rarely think about bringing their animals to the vet after they purchase or adopt them.»
«Even though they are less common
pets than rabbits or guinea pigs, there are
still plenty of people who care for
exotic breeds and are as eager to buy them toys and treats as any other
pet owner,» she said.
