This remains the Foundation Manual for information across the range of
exotic pets, from small mammals, through birds, reptiles and amphibians,
to invertebrates. Commoner pets, such as rabbits, rodents and budgies
retain their place. However, the ever-increasing range of
non-traditional pets encountered by the veterinary surgeon in practice
is reflected in coverage of some new groups, such as marsupials, ratites
and crocodilians.
