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.
Winter White Dwarf Hamster
The Winter White Dwarf Hamster (Phodopus sungorus), also called the Djungarian hamster or Russian dwarf, is the easiest and tamest of the small hamsters and turns white in winter. A solitary species, it needs a safe cage, a wheel, and a careful diet free of onion, chocolate, and apple seeds. Lifespan 2–3 years.
Pudding Hamster
The Pudding Hamster is a popular pet variety named for its pudding-yellow coat. Gentle and easy to handle, it is heat-sensitive, territorial, and can nip — so wash your hands before handling and never co-house it. It lives 1–3 years and needs steady 20–28°C and careful, chew-safe feeding.
Trinidad Chevron Tarantula
The Trinidad chevron tarantula is a strikingly patterned arboreal spider from the rainforests of Trinidad and Tobago, known for its olive-green body, red-tipped legs, and bold black abdominal chevrons. Fast and somewhat defensive, it is better suited to experienced keepers.
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.
African Keeled Mud Turtle
The African Keeled Mud Turtle (Pelusios carinatus) is a side-necked turtle from Africa, dark gray to black with a keeled shell and a yellow plastron. A gentle, hardy semi-aquatic species that adapts well to captivity and makes a good, if uncommon, community turtle.
Florida East Coast Diamondback Terrapin
The Florida East Coast Diamondback Terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) is a dark, subdued brackish-marsh turtle from Florida's Atlantic coast, uncommon in the trade. Unique among turtles, it thrives in brackish water near seawater salinity, so it is best kept in slightly brackish conditions.
Philippen’s Stripe-necked Turtle
Philippen's Stripe-necked Turtle (Ocadia philippeni) is a large striped-neck turtle endemic to Hainan, China, resembling the Chinese stripe-necked turtle but with a larger carapace. Sensitive to temperature swings, it is omnivorous and fairly easy to keep, though wild individuals are scarce and often mislabeled as the Chinese stripe-necked turtle.
Dyscophus antongili
The Antongil Bay Tomato Frog (Dyscophus antongili) is native to the east coast of Madagascar and feeds on insects. Restricted to a narrow range and threatened by habitat loss and poaching for the pet trade, it is listed under CITES Appendix I. Wild individuals come in red (females) or yellow (males), so choose a female if you want a red 'tomato'.
Narrow-breasted Snake-necked Turtle
The Narrow-breasted Snake-necked Turtle inhabits small coastal rivers, wetlands, or swamps, is strongly aquatic, and can bury into bottom mud. It is fully aquatic, even hibernating and mating in water, with females coming ashore only to lay eggs.
