Honestly as far as human gain, exotic animals are at best going to be like having a cat with the work of owning two dogs. Not worth it.
I mean ferrets are exotic animals according to my vet who charges me an extra $50 "exotic pet fee" and they're not a very expensive animal
Your argument has been foiled
Who needs an exotic when you can have dogs with floppy ears

exotics are cheap especially the ones in reptile expo
Got a ball python for 20 canadian dollars

Rat's are technically exotic animals.

Anon why did you let your rat die? Find a different vet. Typically you should pay $50 for a biopsy and $100 for tumor removals. The most I've ever payed was for $250 for a severe case of pyometra

If you're not willing to empty your bank account and sell your house to help your pet rat live even 1 extra day, a pet isn't for you.

>it's basically illegal to own exotics here
Like, you can't own snakes or tarantulas or even hamsters or gerbils or ferrets. A bearded dragon, a cockatoo, or an axolotl are the best and most exotic you can hope for, here. Forget the larger animals.
