Frequently Asked Questions

Most of the time it depends on whether you are comparing a licensed , properly permitted, vet-inspected facility to an illegal, unlicensed backyard possible puppy-mill-type factory or sometimes different breeders set different prices based on demographics, seasons and many other reasons. The most important thing is to find yourself a breeder that you feel comfortable working with and one that is willing to work with you. If price is your only reason to choose one animal over another, we do suggest you do more research on the animal you are thinking of getting.

This question is impossible to answer accurately 100% of the time. The correct answer is any animal can cohabitate with any other person or pet if proper safety protocols are enforced. Most of the time it varies depending on the responsibility and maturity level of your kids and tendency for aggression in other pet animals in your home. You have to be the judge of that, I cannot. You also must consider in the wild if your current pets would be considered food for your new pets or vice-versa . A cat will eat a mouse! Many animals introduced at young ages are often fine. Only you can truly answer this question.

Let me start by saying I am a small breeder. I don’t mass produce any animals. Each animal born here is taught to take a bottle or formula from us and socialized, and of course standard vet visits before leaving for their new homes. This is very time consuming. It’s best to contact us to find out when babies are born. Most animals breed by season, not because we pair them up. Mother Nature does play a huge part in this. After we talk and you’re ready to make the commitment, place a deposit. A deposit is a partial payment of the total price, not an additional amount.

Yes, but additional shipping charges are paid for by you. A health certificate is also required by law before any animal can be shipped out of state. Please check with your local animal control for your area. Our vet cannot issue a health certificate to an area where an exotic animal is prohibited.You must check with your city, county, and state. If you pay a deposit on an animal that is prohibited where you live the sale will be cancelled and your deposit will not be refunded.

Google or Facebook is a good starting point. Please make sure to ask them if they have experience with the animal you are thinking of adding to your family. Many vets advertise they are an exotic vet and treat mostly birds, ferrets and other pet shop type exotic animals.
