Which if true I don't understand the logic behind it or any of the animals you listed on the ban. My family have reduced their pets to strictly dogs and cats and a few livestock animals they treat as pets. Which brings up another point. Many types of farm animals are not indigenious, are they considered exotic. Ostriches, Emus, Alpacas just to name a few. They might not be considered pets, but they can still kill or harm people.
chinchillas are definitely not illegal here, they are all over the place! theres a few breeders in every town at least -.- not sure about the degus though :/ i just want to know whats so harmful about hedgehogs and sugar gliders, when chinchillas are not illegal? you dont even need a permit for them, i have a friend that has them..
