Today we are celebrating all of the pets that make us laugh and bring us joy on World Laughter Day!
Name that animal!!
Today, we celebrate our beautiful planet and all the amazing creatures that call it home. As exotic pet owners, we have a special connection with nature and the animals that inhabit it. Let's take this day to reflect on how we can make a positive impact on the environment and the welfare of our exotic pets.
Here are a few ways we can celebrate Earth Day together:
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Let's minimize our environmental footprint by practicing the 3 R's. Consider using eco-friendly pet products and reducing plastic waste.
Conservation Efforts: Support wildlife conservation efforts and learn about the importance of preserving natural habitats for exotic animals.
Sustainable Practices: Incorporate sustainable practices into caring for your exotic pets, such as using energy-efficient lighting and reducing water consumption.
Education and Awareness: Spread awareness about the unique needs of exotic pets and how we can protect their natural environments.
At Exotic Vet Tech, we are committed to promoting the health and well-being of exotic pets while also caring for the planet they call home. Today and every day, let's work together to create a brighter, cleaner, and more sustainable future for all creatures, big and small.
Happy Earth Day!

During training, make sure the reinforcer (eg: the reward) is valued highly by your bird. Food rewards are often great motivators for birds. For parrots, a small piece of fresh or dried fruit, single seed, almond sliver, or other small piece of nut often works well. For chickens, try offering a dried mealworm, piece of strawberry, or sunflower seed.
They may be cute and even cuddly, but they can also be LOUD! With screams reported at over 100 decibels, Umbrella Cockatoos are some of the most commonly rehomed parrots. Need help with yours? Schedule your consultation today!

Welcome to Exotic Vet Tech!
A Saturday morning project. 🐢 Outdoor tortoise enclosures come in all shapes and sizes. This one, for a #russiantortoise , was constructed as a daytime enclosure for a single tortoise. Use #edibleplants to brighten your enclosure and provide #environmentalenrichment for your pet! Need help designing an enclosure for your pet? Email us at [email protected]! #theexoticvettech #exoticvvettech #outdoortortoises #exoticveterinarymedicine #reptilevet
Safe cleaning products for #exoticpets! Many household cleaners such as Febreeze and Fabuloso are toxic to our pet birds, small mammals and other exotic pets. We recommend using one of these 4 things to keep your pet’s enclosure, dishes and toys sparkling clean. Bleach and vinegar should be strongly diluted and and rinsing of the item should continue until no smell remains. Bleach is typically used at a 1:10 dilution and vinegar at a 1:4 dilution. Questions?? Check with you local #avianveterinarian or Email or DM us! #safetyfirst #keepclean #kidsandpets #theexoticvettech #exoticvettech #exoticveterinarymedicine #techlife
What's for #dinner? Does your tortoise have favorites? Mustard greens or dandelion? Romaine or squash? The possibilities are numerous, and we always have fun searching for new ways to provide the best nutrition. This particular video features spring mix, zucchini, and sweet potato followed by a dusting of #Nekton vitamins. For our tortoises we like Nekton-Multi-Rep ! #hungrylikeawolf #russiantortoises #tortoisesofinstagram #reptileveterinarian #exoticvettech #theexoticvettech #vettech
We are "tortally" into #tortoises over here- almost as much as "Pickles" is into this apple treat! #Russiantortoises like this one should receive a wide variety of leafy greens, hay, vegetables and the occasional piece of fruit as a treat. Many gardeners can even grow their own fresh greens for their tortoise friends. Need some inspiration or ideas for your tortoise? Schedule your consult with #ExoticVetTech today! #tortoisesofinstagram #reptilenutrition #theexoticvettech #veterinariansofinstagram ##veterinarytechnician
