okay this is going to have alot of questions in it so here it goes... okay well last year my pet vinnie (a chinchilla) died of a heat stroke and now i think its time i got another pet. and California is horrible with exotic pets but is there anyways i could get a permet to allow me to have an exotic pet? i am looking for a mammal since i have a large mammal cage(not suitable for hamsters or reptials) and i was hoping for a animal that i would walk on a harness (like a ferret) or that would sit on my shoulder like a chinchilla. please help me out. i really need this. thank you for your time.

I think that you should do some research on small pets that you can walk and hold. A ferret is a great pet but it needs a lot of space, time and care, and you need to change the cage a lot, but you might be used to that since you already had a small pet like that.

You could get an african grey parrot. They talk , sit on your shoulders, and are very interesting. Scientists say that they have the vocabulary of a five year old. I think it would be a good idea to get one because they are just birds, and I don't think California would consider it an exotic pet. Besides, My Aunt, Uncle, and cousins live in California and have a bird very similar to that. Hope I helped.

go with a pair of rats. they are wonderful pets. if you want one that will sit on your shoulder than go with males. females are more playful. ferrets can be quite hard to train to walk on a leash and are great at slipping out of a harness. if you're worried about heat stroke don't go hairless or tail less.

Ferrets are nice, but they are little trouble makers. They're like like little kittens all the time. I'd stick with a chinchilla.

Well you need to call like your city hall for that information. Or you can look on the internet. But as far as I know I don't think ferrets are allowed in a lot of the US States.

rats (the ones bred to be pets, not the sewer kind!) make fantastic pets. they can be trained, learn their name, learn tricks.. and are very friendly. a rat would thrive in a big cage like that. i'd look into getting a pet rat...
and if you train him well you could walk around with him on your shoulder!

You can always get another chinchilla.
