In Association with Amazon.com

While not all of the above are pet care books, all are good reference books for researching diets and care of species not traditionally kept as pets or as zoo/educational animals.

If you don't see a certain exotic pet or related animal title, let me know and we will make an effort to include it. While some books are not specificly pet related, they are included as resources for researching diets or other captive care information.
