Originally when pet insurance was first introduced about 30 years ago it was designed only for domestic dogs and cats. Today in the United States there are more than one hundred and fifty million dogs and cats owned as pets. About half a million (or less than half of one percent) of these pets are currently insured. Accordingly it stands to reason that the market potential for expanding the insurance for domestic dogs and cats is absolutely huge. Horses are also the subject of specialized insurance, especially if the animal is a race or show horse.
It is reality that almost any kind of animal will eventually get sick and require medical care so what about insurance for other types of animals like birds, snakes, lizards, or turtles? A new style of pet health cover known as exotic pet insurance has been developed to cover these less common animals.
Exotic pet insurance originated in the United Kingdom well before it was introduced into the United States. In the very early days of pet health insurance there was not a lot of focus on this type of product because insurance for even domestic animals, such as dogs and cats, was not particularly popular.
So the insurance market seemed to ignore the exotic pet sector of the market on the misconception that animals such as birds and lizards rarely seemed to get sick. The insurers were of the opinion that the cover would not find traction and so they concentrated their efforts on the traditional pets. All this changed, however, when pet health insurance saw a boom of companies being established back in 1996 and 1997 and many of the new comers to the market gave their attention to untapped aspects of the pet insurance market.
Pet owners in the United Kingdom have a very large assortment of different animals as pets. The variety of animals led to advancement in pet insurance to cater for all aspects of the market. The United Kingdom, by virtue of its relatively small size, makes it an ideal place in which to test run new ideas. The cost of developing and promoting new products just like exotic pet insurance is much more simple in the UK than trying to do something similar in the United States.
After the initial success of exotic pet insurance in the United Kingdom this style of coverage started to find its way to the United States. Today even very large pet insurers such as Veterinary Pet Insurance now offer exotic pet insurance but it is not their main line of business. As is the case with the vast majority of pet health insurers they still focus on insuring dogs and cats.
The increased popularity of exotic pets has resulted in a corresponding demand for an appropriate style of insurance, and as such there are now a number of companies that are offering these specialized plans. So if you are in need of exotic pet insurance for your less common animal, just do a little bit of research and you are sure to find an insurance provider willing to assist you.

Iguana Care - Ensuring Your Iguana Is Happy, Healthy And Safe
Individuals who choose to have an iguana as a pet, may not be fully of aware of how to properly take care of it. Because these reptiles are not your typical pet, like a cat or dog, people are simply unaware of the basics. It is good to know that iguana care is not as high maintenance as that required for a cat or dog. However, there are some pretty basic rules that one should follow to make sure that their pet is happy, healthy and has as long a life as possible.
Here are a few iguana care basics. It is important to know that in some aspects they are similar to human beings. They awake in the morning and require darkness at nighttime in order to properly sleep and rest. However, because iguanas are cold blooded, their internal temperatures are dependent upon their surrounding conditions. Therefore, having a heat source is important. This is vital in order for them to maintain their body temperatures. To that end, one should consider purchasing a cage with a bulb. If you don't, you may find that during the night your pet may find a dark, corner in order to stay warm.
You also want to make sure that you have aid available in case your iguana starts showing signs of skin disease or sickness. Antiseptic and iodine are important to have around. If you fear that your pet may have an infection as evidenced by dark spots or scratches on their skin that had not been there before, and the problem seems to persist or get worse, then it is very important for you to make a visit with an iguana veterinarian. They will be able to give you proper advice on how to remedy the problem and nurse your beloved pet back to health.

Rat Vets - Finding A Good Vet For Your Pet Rat
There are loads of good vets out there for your rat, but it is not always the easiest task to find them.
Some vets may be wonderful with cats and dogs, but do not have the same knowledge about rats. Some vets do not respect rats and think it easier to let it die and buy a new one. Some may overcharge because they don't want to treat your rat.
But there are some who respect rats and have knowledge about them. There are others who respect rats and are open to advice. These are the ones to track down.
You should try and locate a good rat vet as soon as you can, so that if an emergency occurs you know who to call.
Never accept derogatory comments about your rat.
Call up your chosen veterinary practice and be upfront. Ask whether the vets there have dealt with many rats before. Maybe even talk to the vet and ask as many questions as you like. Ask them how many rats they treat and their surgery success rate (it should not be less than 95%)
You can even ask a trick question, such as "Should I withhold food before surgery?". If they know about rats they will know that they can't vomit, so you don't need to withhold food.
When you take your rat to the vets they should put a towel down for your pet, so that the cold table, doesn't make them uncomfortable.
Read up on your rat's symptoms, so that you can maximise the productivity of your trip to the vets.
And finally...if you find a good one spread the word and contact rat websites so that they can let others know.

Rat Intelligence - Why Rats Are The Smartest Pets Out There
We know are rats are intelligent, just by being around them. The knowing looks they give us, the way they solve simple problems and work out how to cause even more mischief. Here is some more info on what we already knew. Our Rats Are Smart!
Learning
Rats pick up new behaviors and tricks very quickly. They try hard to please their owners and you may be surprised how much your rat can learn. In the wild, rats, like humans are survivors and generalists. They have to cope with every eventuality that nature throws at them. They learn to raid human food and stores and avoid being caught.
Rats have been trained to press a button for food. If they are given food, every fourth time they press the button, they will quickly press it four times to get the food. They can also learn to turn a light on and off, with no reward. They will simply do it as they like the change. They also like to feel they have power over these things. Rats have amazing senses of smell and hearing and have been trained to sniff out land mines and bombs, in the place of dogs.
Mazes
Rats are also very good at mazes. It is actually quite fun to make up a maze for your ratty and put their favorite treat at the end. The first time it may take a while for them to get to the treat, but the next time you will see they are much faster.
In one incident a rat was placed in an eight arm maze, with a treat at the end of each arm. The rat learnt how to empty the maze, without going down the same arm twice. It didn't follow a set pattern, so it's route could not be predicted. Someone suggested that the rat was leaving a scent mark at each tunnel entrance it had been down, so that it would know not to go down that one again. However, further tests eliminated this possibility. They then turned the maze around and the rat became disoriented. It turned out that the rat had used visual markers to remember what arms of the maze it had already been down. Some arms were near a window, or a light. This showed that the rat could picture the maze and the location of the tunnels it had been down. It then reflected on this experience and could find food with minimum effort.
Social Intelligence
Rats are incredibly social creatures, who have very complex relationships with other rats. As you probably know, they can have a very strong bond with people too. In the wild and in horrible labs, rats can die from social stress. Their relationships are so important to them that there have been report of rats dying from heart break after their partner has died.
Shy rats have been proven to die younger than their more confident peers. It is important to be patient with him, if you have a shy ratty. If you are gentle and quiet and consistent in your efforts you may have a breakthrough.
Rat Dreams
Yes, rats do dream. Have you ever seen your little ratty twitching a little in his sleep? Or even squeaking? Well, it has been proven that rats dream, in very much the same way as humans. They dream about what they have done that day and you may see them moving as they dream.

Choosing An Uncommon Pet - Lizard, Pony, Horse - But You Have To Take Care Of Them
When you think to adopt an uncommon pet (not a dog or a cat), first of all you must know that you have to provide custom care for him. There are many uncommon pets you can adopt, like lizards, spiders, horses, ponies, turtles, any type of reptile, exotic birds, and even a wild animal.
For lizards, you must keep them a fresh, clean environment, and a constant source of light is also necessary. Lizards need proper heating environment; is vital to a lizards survival, as it allows for a healthy immune system. You must not let you lizards walk around, otherwise it can bring damage to furniture, carpet, wiring and anything else. There are custom cages for lizards, you can find them at your local pet store. It is necessary to create a friendly environment for lizards, and you can add some rocks in the cage. Rocks should be boiled for 20 minutes before being put in a cage. The cage must be cleaned periodically to ensure the freshness.
A pony require a custom stable where he can rest overnight and a field to run and play with. This involves wide spaces and you can't adopt a pony in the middle of New York. Oh, yes you can if you want, but the pony won't be that happy. He need fresh grass, and an open view. Taking care of a pony or horse is really hard. It needs special food, in large quantities, like oat. He needs straw to lay on. Like any pet, he must be fed regularly, even you're not playing every day with him. If you are not able to, you better hire someone to care for your pony.
If you want to adopt a horse, you must care him exactly like a pony, but the problem is that horses need more attention. They need to run almost every day, horses are made to run. And also you need a trainer to teach your horse the "good manners".
No matter what type of pet you want to adopt, you must first think if you are able to care of him, if not that pet won't be happy. And there are many examples around the world of improper care of pets and even other domestic animals. If you like birds, the best choice is to adopt some canaries. They are so beautiful and sing so nice. Good luck!

Find Exotic Pets Online
Recent years have seen an increasing trend regarding the popularity of exotic pets online. Since most people are not free to travel the world in search of the perfect exotic pet, it will be beneficial for you to learn just how to find exotic pets on the internet. Fortunately, finding exotic pets online is not nearly as difficult as some people would make it out to be. However, it is not quite so simple as performing a Google search for "exotic pets online" either.
Unlike common domestic animals, there are often a great number of restrictions regarding the importing, sales and even in some instances, the ability to own exotic pets. Some animals that were previously considered to be exotic are not quite so mysterious, exotic or anything other than just another animal anymore.
Ostriches are just one example of how the situation has changed. While these magnificent birds used to be considered exotic pets to some, they are now commonly raised and often raised much the same as any ordinary livestock. Far from being an exotic pet anymore, they are now a regular food source and an industry rather than simply pets.
It should be noted that most exotic pets will not fall into this category very often or anytime soon. When most people think about exotic pets, they are usually referring to reptiles of one form or another, talking, colorful and exotic birds, and a relatively few more species which are more likely to be welcomed into a home as a conversation starter or a fascination with nature and the extremes among living species.
Whatever reasons you may personally have for wanting to find an exotic pet, you may have noticed that available selections are often very limited in any local exotic pet shops. Searching for exotic pets online will definitely give you a wider selection. There are also additional benefits to searching for exotic pets online that you should take into consideration as well.
Many of the more exotic pets are more expensive and sometimes difficult to come by. There are many unscrupulous exotic pet dealers both online and in the real world. Searching for your exotic pets online will allow you to learn as much about the exotic pet dealers as it will about the animals themselves. Finding a reputable dealer is every bit as important as finding the perfect exotic pet.
Because they are exotic, these pets are often very expensive. Another consideration is that exotic pets available online and in the real world have special requirements. It may b easy for you to see why it is so important to find out as much as you can about the dealer and the animal itself. Most people don't want to spend a large amount of money on exotic pets that may or may not have had adequate medical care, lack the proper documentation and may result in a financial loss and perhaps a broken heart due to the loss of a pet.
Before you go searching for the perfect pet or try to find a pet online gather as much information as you can to determine if an exotic pet will fit in your lifestyle. In this way, you can be certain that you get the pet that is right for you and one that you will have for a lifetime.

Displaying Your Exotic Pet
Along with the increasing availability of exotic pets online is people in need of a manner to display exotic pets. Anybody can through a reptile in an empty fish tank but is that really worthy of your exotic pet and how you want to present it to the world? Let's face it, you probably purchased an exotic pet online or elsewhere, because at least a part of you wants to be different than everybody else. So why should your pet's display be the same old thing everybody else already has?
Granted, you can buy a second hand aquarium and throw your iguana or your python in there without any real concerns for their health or safety. Still, there is just something missing when it comes to the way that most people select to display their exotic pets. An aquarium, as convenient as it may be, may not be the way to go.
Hinges cost very little and some people already have a few laying around in their garage or in a spare parts drawer somewhere in their house. Screen mesh is cheaply purchased at any hardware store and mix that with a piece of plywood and a couple of straight one by two inch pieces of wood and you have all of the makings for a custom display for your exotic animals.
Making the entire housing structure for your pet out of plywood is never a good idea for a display. This will actually defeat the entire purpose as people will not actually be able to see your newly acquired exotic pets. Make at least one side of the structure and the top out of the small lumber and wire mesh. In this way, people will be able to see the exotic pet inside.
If you want to make your exotic pet cage even nicer, you can always stain the outside and round the edges so that you have a more pleasant visual appearance on the outside of the exotic pet cage. Do not stain or varnish the inside as the varnish may crack and you may very well kill your exotic animals.
For further visual effects, you can add paintings or posters on the back portion of the exotic animal's cage. Pictures of the desert go very well for iguanas and while it may or may not actually make the iguana feel any better, it will be much more appealing to the human eye. For pythons or boa constrictors, try using a forested river scene or something else with a lot of green. Again, the actual reaction your pets have may not be noticeable but it will certainly give your friends and visitors something to talk about when they come to your house.
The size you build it may have to depend on many factors like how much work you are willing to put into it, how much money you have for parts and how fancy you want to make what you have. However, your biggest concern should be that your new exotic animal display is placed somewhere that people can see it and where it will not have to be moved a lot.
With the ever increasing popularity of finding exotic pets online, make sure that you still have something that is as unique as you are. If you own an exotic pet, you probably want to be different and maybe even a little bit better and that does not mean tossing an iguana in a second-hand aquarium.

What Makes a Pet ExoticWhat Makes a Pet Exotic
According to the dictionary, the only thing that a pet requires to be considered an exotic pet is to be something that is not indigenous to a particular region. However, according to that definition, any poodle or even a little Cairn Terrier or even a Siamese cat would technically qualify as an exotic pet. So there must be something else that defines the parameters regarding what does and does not make a pet an exotic pet.
Further research indicates that exotic can also include anything that is considered to be "exotic in nature" or have to be something that is unique and in some instances, often misunderstood. This would certainly seem to be a much more applicable definition when it comes to exotic pets. I seriously doubt that you could find any animal experts online who would consider a common alley cat to be an exotic pet simply because it did not grow up in the alley directly behind your home.
Exotic pets are usually both unique and relatively rare. In many instances, they are exotic snakes such as boa constrictors and pythons which people may keep for a variety of reasons. Some people get exotic pets to overcome personal fears. Other people may keep exotic pets because of a deep-seated passion for misunderstood animals and reptiles. Still other people may keep exotic pets simply as conversation starters or a point of interest in order to entice others and pique their interest about pets and animals.
Fortunately, you do not have to worry about what constitutes an exotic pet or separates it from a simple domesticated animal. If you want to find the perfect pet, all you have to do is look around for the pet that you want. It does not even matter what your personal reasons for wanting an exotic pet may be. If you want to find the pet of your dreams, classified ads for pets online are all over the place.
From the relatively mundane but extremely soft and cuddly cat, to the very protective guard dog, it is very easy to find a pet online. If your personal preference is for more exotic animals, do not despair. Not only can you easily find classified ads for exotic animals online, you can also find out about any special needs or requirements that they have as well.
Maybe you have always wanted that tarantula or an iguana or maybe even some of the more exotic birds, but you feared that you did not live in a suitable environment to take care of such exotic species as a pet. Now, your answer is only a search away and you can find out everything that you need to know about virtually any type of pets online.
Granted, it would be wise to find out as much as you can about an exotic species before you consider moving one into your home. There may be extenuating circumstances that would prohibit you from owning the pet of your dreams. Fortunately for you, you can find out everything you ever wanted to know about any and all exotic pets online. Your answer is only a click away.
