LionHead Rabbit
The LionHead Rabbit is a small, gentle pet rabbit named for the ruff of long fur around its head that looks like a lion's mane. Originating in Belgium and bred in the Netherlands and US, it is sturdy and clean, needs daily coat care and a wire-free cage, and lives 5–7 years.
Standard Gray Chinchilla
The Standard Gray Chinchilla — the original 'Totoro' — is a vegetarian rodent from the high Andes of South America. Gentle, clean, nearly odorless and long-lived (8–10 years), it needs a cage, dust baths, constant chewing material, and careful protection from heatstroke.
Halfmoon Betta
The Halfmoon Betta is a tail-form of Betta splendens whose caudal fin spreads to a full 180 degrees (or more, in the prized Over-Halfmoon type), resembling a half moon. A labyrinth fish that breathes air at the surface, it is easy to keep but must be housed alone or with peaceful tankmates because males fight.
Guppy
The guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is a peacock-tailed livebearer from South American river basins—easy to keep, with hundreds of strains. Keep at 22–26 °C, pH 7.0–8.5, and feed a varied diet of flakes, brine shrimp and daphnia.
Silver Arowana
The silver arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum) is a large, dragon-shaped fish named for its silver scales; adults reach 90–100 cm. It needs a big covered tank, plenty of light, and a meat-based diet of shrimp, fish and insects.
Guangxi stripe-necked turtle
The Guangxi stripe-necked turtle is a rare, beautifully marked freshwater turtle endemic to Guangxi, China, long suspected—though never confirmed—to be a natural hybrid. In captivity it is an active, omnivorous species that enjoys warm water and is relatively easy for keepers to maintain.
Burman Big-headed Turtle
The Burmese Big-headed Turtle (Platysternon megacephalum) is a subspecies of the beaked turtle found mainly in Myanmar and Vietnam, an aggressive carnivore that adapts fairly well to captivity. It mates in autumn and lays eggs from early summer, but its fierce temperament demands careful handling.
Malayan Flat-shelled Turtle
The Malayan Flat-shelled Turtle (Notochely platynota) is a secretive, chiefly herbivorous freshwater turtle from Southeast Asia that prefers shallow, plant-rich waters. Wild-caught individuals are notoriously fragile, making it one of the most difficult turtles to keep successfully in captivity.
Common Box Turtle
The Carolina box turtle (Terrapene carolina) comprises six subspecies distinguished by their shell patterns and named for its box-like shell. Ranging from eastern North America through Canada and Mexico, this largely terrestrial, omnivorous turtle is exceptionally long-lived, though habitat loss has driven population declines.
Desert Iguana
The Desert Iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis) is a hardy, pale-gray desert lizard of the southwestern North American deserts, tolerant of extreme heat and aridity. Primarily herbivorous and alert, it needs a hot, dry, UVB-lit enclosure with sandy substrate and burrows.
