Before buying an exotic pet, make sure there is a Atherton veterinarian who is knowledgable with your particular pet breed in case of emergency. Make your home ready and safe for your new pet. Some exotic pets require special care, special diets, and very particular habitats, make sure you can easily get access to your pet’s supplies, like your local Atherton pet shop carrying its feed, otherwise keep its food stocked up.
