    Actually, I've looked at this and searched for Exotic Vets on the website and it seems like they only list those who are members with them. When I searched, I only found one vet.

    Anyone know of a small animal vet that is qualified and is pretty knowledgeable about the "exotic pets"? I have a vet but I have lost faith in them as they have no idea what they're talking about with rats. Thank you!
