Dogs and cats are fantastic and by far the most popular pets. But there are plenty of other pets you can own in Colorado. No, I`m not talking about hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. (although all these animals are awesome!). I`m talking about animals, you`d be shocked if you saw them in someone`s house, but you wouldn`t be surprised to see them in the wild. For example, what if you see a reindeer in your neighbor`s garden, or a yak walking down the street, or an emu walking around your neighborhood! I`ll also tell you how to care for these animals, although you probably won`t be adopting them anytime soon.
I hope you enjoy learning about the coolest pets you can have in Colorado! North Carolina law allows counties and cities to issue exotic animal ordinances. Depending on where you live in the state, you may or may not have regulations. You`ll need an entry permit from the state veterinarian to introduce skunks, foxes, raccoons, non-domestic cats, coyotes, martens, and brush-tailed possums. Kansas state law does not allow dangerous regulated animals to be kept as pets unless you are a zoo, sanctuary, or other licensed facility. Dangerous regulated animals include big cats, bears and venomous snakes. Monkeys are allowed. Ferrets and monk parakeets are prohibited. You need a permit for falconry and keeping birds of prey.

Peacocks are so pretty and a super cool pet! Peacocks can be quite aggressive, but they get used to you. If you`re trying to decide what kind of peacock you want to get, get a blue peacock because they`re friendlier than greens, and greens are endangered and shouldn`t be kept as pets. Peacocks need a tree in which they can settle at night in order to be safe from predators. It might also be a good idea to have a treehouse for birds with doors that only open during the day so they can`t get out and predators can`t get in. You should feed the peacocks 1/4 cup of food in the morning and another 1/4 plus a little more in the evening. They eat insects, small amphibians, cereals and vegetables, berries and even a little animal feed. You need 100+ square feet to live per adult peacock. This may seem like a lot of space, but you don`t want them to be cramped, and each male peacock can take up to seven feet of space! You should also have fresh water available at all times. Peacocks can be quite noisy at night, even noisier during mating season.
If you want to know what they sound like, go to YouTube and search for “Peacock Sounds” because it`s hard to explain in words how they sound. Unfortunately, you can`t calm them down like you can prevent a dog from barking, so make sure they don`t live very close to your home. Peacocks would be picky, but also super fun and cool to own! However, it is legal to own pets that are not regulated by Colorado parks and wildlife. However, these animals must comply with the regulations of the state agricultural and health departments that deal with human and animal health. Here is a list of pets: In Oklahoma, you can own any pet with a permit. The state calls it a wild animal breeding license. A permit is not required to have exotic farm animals, fish and amphibians. All animals, including wildlife, pets, and hybrid animals, kept or sold as pets are subject to the Pet Care and Facilities Act (Colorado Statutes 35-80) If you don`t know what a yak is, it`s basically a bison, and you can have one as a pet! However, it would be difficult to keep it inside as they are very, very big! They are 8 to 11 feet tall and weigh between 500 and 1300 pounds! They probably need a lot of space because they`re so big. They need protection to feel more comfortable and not overheat or get too cold.
Yaks eat good quality hay and a mixture of vitamins and minerals for livestock. Yaks are surprisingly calm and gentle, making them easy to spot. You don`t need a special permit to own a yak, and they`re pretty easy to maintain, as all you have to do is make sure they have enough space to exercise, shade/protect, clean water, and feed 1-3% of their body weight (3 pounds for calves and 15 pounds for adults). Tents, ropes, blankets, etc.
