Aldabra Giant Tortoise
One of the two largest tortoises on Earth - a gentle giant that may outlive you. Captive-bred, legally imported animals only.
African Spurred Tortoise (Sulcata)
The third-largest tortoise in the world and a desert specialist - adorable as a hatchling, but it grows into a 50-70 kg excavation machine.
Chaco Tortoise
The Chaco Tortoise (Chelonoidis chilensis), long misnamed the Argentine or 'Chilean' tortoise, is a rare South American tortoise from the Gran Chaco of Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil. Closely related to red- and yellow-footed tortoises, it is attractive but delicate and disease-prone, so best left to experienced keepers.
Egyptian Tortoise
The Egyptian Tortoise (Testudo kleinmanni) is the smallest tortoise in the Northern Hemisphere and the most fragile, hardest-to-keep Mediterranean tortoise. Tiny changes in environment or diet can cause stress death; do not mix it with other turtles.
Beaked Cape Tortoise
The Beaked Cape Tortoise (Homopus areolatus), or parrot-beaked tortoise, is the world's smallest tortoise, a secretive rock-dweller endemic to South Africa's Cape. Delicate in captivity, it is best left to experts.
Burmese Mountain Tortoise
The Burmese Mountain Tortoise (Manouria emys) is one of Asia's largest tortoises, a shy forest dweller from western India to Vietnam and Sumatra. It loves warmth and humidity, shuns bright light, and is a committed herbivore that rarely accepts animal food.
White Chinchilla
The white chinchilla is a coat-color morph of the chinchilla (Chinchilla lanigera), native to the Andes of South America. It likes dry, cool, dim places, is nocturnal, gentle and very timid, and commands a higher price for its pure white coat.
Syrian Hamster
The Syrian hamster (Mesocricetus auratus), also called the golden hamster or 'pearl bear', is a hamster from Asia and the first species kept as a pet. Docile and easy to breed, it lives 2 to 3 years with good care and comes in over 40 color varieties.
Guinea Pig
The Guinea Pig (Cavia porcellus), also called the cavy, is a gentle South American rodent kept worldwide as a pet. It needs a roomy cage, a bottle, and — unlike many rodents — a diet with added vitamin C: grass hay, guinea-pig pellets, and fresh vegetables. Its teeth grow for life, so fibrous food is essential.
Chinese White Rabbit
The Chinese White Rabbit is China's oldest domestic rabbit — small, compact, and remarkably hardy, with red eyes only in the white form. A meat-type landrace that also makes a tough pet, it needs a wire-free cage, a ball-valve bottle, and a simple diet of pellets, alfalfa, timothy, and boiled water. Watch for coccidiosis.
