Pet Limited Exotics Care in Durango, CO
AspenTree Animal Care in Durango, CO offers limited exotics care for small mammals and select non-traditional pets.

These procedures are essential for maintaining health and comfort in species that require routine husbandry support or urgent medical attention.
Focused Services for Exotic Pets
Our limited exotics care is designed for pets that fall outside the typical canine and feline categories but are still common household companions. We currently see a select group of species and provide focused services that support their basic health and hygiene.
Species Commonly Seen:
- Rabbits
- Guinea pigs
- Ferrets
- Rats and mice
- Hamsters and gerbils
- Select birds (beak and nail trims only)
Please call in advance to confirm species eligibility and appointment availability.
Nail, Beak, and Teeth Trimming Services
Routine grooming care is essential for many exotic pets. Without regular trimming, overgrowth of nails, teeth, or beaks can cause pain, injury, or difficulty eating.
We offer the following:
- Nail trims for rabbits, rodents, and small mammals
- Beak trims for select bird species when medically indicated
- Teeth trims for rabbits and rodents with overgrowth or dental alignment concerns
These procedures are performed with careful restraint and attention to your pet’s comfort and safety.
Sick Exotic Pet Appointments
In addition to grooming care, we provide medical appointments for sick exotic pets. Small mammals and birds can decline quickly when ill, so prompt evaluation is important. Our team performs physical exams and can offer basic diagnostics, including lab work and imaging, when needed.
Common concerns we evaluate include:
- Decreased appetite or changes in eating behavior
- Weight loss or inactivity
- Discharge from eyes, nose, or mouth
- Difficulty moving, breathing, or grooming
- Digestive upset or abnormal droppings
We will assess your pet’s condition, recommend treatment, and discuss whether referral to a specialized exotics facility is necessary for further care.
What to Expect
During your visit, our team will review your pet’s health history, diet, and housing. We’ll perform a physical exam and discuss any trimming procedures or medical concerns. Our goal is to provide straightforward care and support informed decision-making.
Key Services Include:
- Nail, beak, and teeth trims
- Sick pet evaluations and treatment plans
- Recommendations for diet and habitat setup
- Referral guidance for complex or advanced cases
