Exotic pets have unique health, dietary and environmental needs. At East Bundaberg Veterinary Hospital, we provide veterinary care for a range of exotic pets, including reptiles, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, mice and other pocket pets.
Whether you’re concerned about a change in your pet’s health or simply want guidance on keeping them healthy, our team is here to help.
Caring for an exotic pet can be very different from caring for a dog or cat. Different species have their own nutritional, environmental and health requirements, which can also affect the signs they show when something isn’t right.
Our veterinary team can assess your pet’s health, discuss any concerns you have and provide advice appropriate to their individual needs.
Regular veterinary checks can help monitor your exotic pet’s general health and identify changes that may require further investigation.
Changes in appetite, behaviour, activity, weight or appearance can sometimes indicate an underlying health problem. If you’ve noticed something unusual, book an appointment for an assessment.
Appropriate nutrition is an important part of keeping exotic pets healthy. We can discuss your pet’s current diet and provide guidance based on their species and individual needs.
Housing, temperature, lighting, hygiene and enrichment can all play an important role in an exotic pet’s wellbeing. We can help you understand the environmental needs of your particular pet.
Guinea pigs have specific dietary and health requirements. Veterinary assessment can help identify concerns and provide guidance on their ongoing care.
Even the smallest members of the family deserve appropriate veterinary care. We can assess health concerns affecting pet rats and mice and discuss their general care.
Reptiles have very particular environmental, temperature, lighting and nutritional requirements. We can assess health concerns and discuss husbandry factors that may affect their wellbeing.
