Raising And Marketing Exotic Animals For Profit
Home Based Business Opportunities:
This business of raising and selling rare or unusual animals, where both expenses and profits are much bigger than normal. Llamas, angora rabbits, mink, pheasant, snakes, bullfrogs, spiders and miniature horses are but a few of the possibilities in this large category.Which animals you raise will of course be influenced by your own preferences, the facilities you can provide, where you live, and of course the market in your area. You can go into this business from a hobby or just go out and buy a pair of whatever animals you would like to raise.
The primary advantage to “exotic” rather than regular animals is income potential. Raising ordinary rabbits requires far less investment in breeding stock, facilities, care and time than expensive, pedigreed angoras.

I purchased “The Complete Guide to Raising Pet Birds for Profit: The Greatest Backyard Business Ever”
First the book is marked up over 300%. The book was poorly written and edited. About 15% of the book was copied verbatim for each of the four species of bird covered. Pictures were of poor quality and lacking in some important areas. I felt the book was incomplete and lacking enough information for what the title entails.
The information that is covered in the book can easily be found free on the internet. I’ve also found lots of free details on for building cages and boxes online as well, which is what the author attempts to sell you as well.
I’m upset with this author because he’s still pitching this book as though it’s a viable business when in fact it is NOT. There is no demand and in fact there is a surplus of suppliers. I contacted the author and he acknowledged this fact and then stated that he didn’t make me purchase his book and that the 300% markup was justified.
The author didn’t make me buy his book but he is selling it under the pretense of it being a viable business and it was for this reason that I bought it. I wouldn’t have purchased it otherwise.
I emailed twice afterwards asking about a refund and got no more replies.
I think this author is unethical. I put my book up for sale on Amazon but pulled it off because i didn’t feel right trying to put someone else in
the same position. Apparently, taking your $$ is the only thing this author is interested in.
I think anyone interested should search the internet and groups for free information or look elsewhere before dealing with this character.
