FAQ: Buying Exotic Mammals
The hedgehog is the best exotic mammal for beginners due to its small size, relatively simple care requirements, and solitary nature. They’re quiet, low-maintenance, and perfect for apartments.

Always check local, state, and federal laws before purchasing.
Yes, sugar gliders MUST be kept in pairs or groups. They are highly social animals that bond closely with their colony members. Keeping a sugar glider alone causes severe depression, stress, and can lead to self-harm. Always purchase at least two sugar gliders together.
It depends on the species and the child’s age:
- Hedgehogs: Good for older children (10+) with supervision
- Sugar gliders: Not recommended for children (nocturnal, fragile)
- Fennec foxes: Can be good with older children if socialized
All exotic mammals require gentle handling and adult supervision with children.
Yes, exotic mammals require veterinarians who specialize in exotic animals. Not all vets treat exotic species. Find an exotic vet before purchasing your pet. Exotic vet care is typically more expensive than traditional pet care.
No, hedgehogs are solitary animals and should be housed alone. They are naturally solitary in the wild and do not need companions. Housing them together can lead to fighting, stress, and injury. Each hedgehog needs its own enclosure.
Look for breeders who:
- Specialize in the specific species
- Provide health records and documentation
- Allow facility visits or provide detailed photos/videos
- Ask questions about your experience and setup
- Offer support after purchase
- Have positive reviews and references
- Properly socialize their animals
Avoid breeders who can’t answer basic care questions or who sell animals too young.
