To touch on vet fund. Make sure you have enough to cover the possibility of having to go to the vet every 2 weeks. Also exotic pet vets can be way more expensive. When i took my kiku in for her vet visit the consoltation itself was $70 the tooth trim was $51 and the anesthisa was $43 talk about a shocking vet bill. Now its about $70 every 2 weeks (the vet was nice cut the cost of the tooth trim in half and they dont charge for a recheck on pets). I didnt relize this and to be honest never expected to have to take her to the vet. Though she now goes every 2 weeks i wish i had a better prepair for it. I did alot of research but none of it ever said the real possible costs and of course they vary by area but this is just 1 example. Also make sure there is an exotic pet vet in your area. I live in a middle sized city and there is only 1 in a 25 mile radius.
