New too Mammels
I've been really interest in getting into rare/exotic mammels for a while. I just dont know which one to start with.
I like larger mammels so wouldn't be looking at mice etc anything from a rabbit up. Also no DWA animals for the time being but i will be applying in the next few years. I do like to interact with my animals dont mind if it takes ages just wouldn't like a display animal. Can anyone help me pick one out?

You have a few options if you are truly up to doing some homework!
Firstly are you looking for a strictly indoor pet, or perhaps something tha5t lives outdoors some/all of the time? Caged or free roaming? Would this be a single animal, or would a pair be acceptable? Presuming you want a single animal and are planning to keep indoors (this seems more common nowadays) you could look at: skunks coatis civets armadillos meercats ..plenty more to choose from IF you can source them, cant think of anything else Ive seen recently though. I suspect you will find hedgehogs a little small and not interactive enough considering your requirements. RWhen considering the list above remember that skunk kits cannot be legally descented anymore. Meercats may also pose a problem in that they do better in groups (and outdoors IMO). Most of the animals listed are destructive to some degree also, be it by digging or just generally exploring ANYTHING they can get their hands on

im definatly up for homework (i think most people on this website have had to)
Thanks for the list pendlehog, i'm gonna rule out meerkats now as they maybe to advanced at the moment, skunks im sorry cute as a button but couldnt deal with the smell and think descenting is crule anyway so thank god its illegal. Going to look at coatis civets armadillos a bit more

A word on coatis, they are seriously clever and have little "hands" rather than paws so will get into EVERYTHING. Make sure you baby proof the place 10 times over if you get one
 I love 'dillos but my OH thinks they are one of the ugliest things that ever walked the earth
