Welcome to The Exotic Pet Education Platform
Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Olivia or Liv, an avian and exotics veterinarian and educator, and I created this space not just because of my passion for birds and exotic pets but because birds and exotic pets are too often overlooked, misunderstood and I know just how hard it can be to find reliable, trustworthy information on caring for them. This community is for pet parents of birds and exotic pets, as well as veterinary professionals, vet students, vet nurses, vet techs and anyone who works with or care about these incredible non-traditional animals. My goal is simple: to make high-quality, practical, evidence-based exotics education accessible and fun! I want you to feel empowered and to love learning from me. Whether you’re caring for a rabbit at home, nursing a bird in hospital, or building confidence with birds and exotics in practice. ✨ Inside this community you’ll find: - Free husbandry guides - Courses, e-books, and webinars (with more coming soon) - Ongoing education and discussion - A safe space to ask questions and learn I am only just getting started and have so many exciting resources that I am working on that I will be launching in the coming months! But for now this platform is still growing, and as an early member, you’ll help shape what’s created next! 👇 To get started, please introduce yourself: - What species do you care for or work with? - Are you a pet parent, vet, vet nurse, vet, student, or other animal professional? - What would you most love to learn about? Thanks for being here. I’m so excited to learn and build this community with you. Liv ❤️ 🐇🐁🐍🦎🐀🐢🦜

Hi everyone! I didn't know which "intro" post to reply to, so I picked this one. I'm Dawn, and I'm a lover of... Pretty much EVERY animal, wild or not! But I definitely have a soft spot for exotics. I have personal experience both as a pet parent and briefly as an animal handler for different rescues. I've worked with reptiles, LOTS of small mammals, and birds! My favorites are definitely reptiles- these cold-blooded friends are just so unique and unlike anything else- and rats! I've had both personally, and while I currently have a pet ball python, I'd love to get back into owning rats eventually. Mostly, I just want to learn proper husbandry for these fancy exotic animals. I've struggled on-and-off with proper humidity for reptiles (keeping humidity levels is the absolute bane of my existence), and I admit I'm afraid of getting something wrong. My current snake friend is healthy and happy, but I'm always afraid that something will spontaneously go wrong. Also, it's been a LONG while since I've owned rats as pets, so refreshing myself on THEIR proper husbandry is something I am interested in! Rats are absolutely a future pet idea for me, as I've always loved how interactive and social they are!

@Olivia Clarke Please do! I admit I've had HORRIBLE luck with reptiles since I've tried to own them- everything from freak accidents to them just... Dwindling away on me without any real reason (despite my best efforts to keep them healthy with medication and vet visits). My ball Cinnamon is a healthy lady, but I admit I am terrified of something going wrong! I'll gladly purchase that to see if there's anything extra I can expand my knowledge on. Also, those handouts? YES PLEASE! I hoard handouts and care sheets like they're going out of style! I'm excited to be here, for sure!

Hi! I'm a shy, nature and animal-loving weirdo who wants to turn her love and expertise on these subjects into a fulfilling, artistic career!
