We care for snakes, lizards, fish, tortoises, birds, terrapins, ferrets, amphibians and small mammals.
It can be difficult finding an exotic vet near you with the right expertise for your exotic pet, but at 608 vets in Solihull, Bentley Heath and Acocks Green in Birmingham, we have both the qualifications and experience to offer the very best care to these special animals - from the smallest mammal up to the largest snake!
Our team at 608 Vets understand the importance of a quiet and calm environment for many exotic species, and our facilities are tailored accordingly. We have dedicated facilities for housing aquatic and semi-aquatic patients and heat and light-controlled tanks for amphibians and reptiles. We also have separate wards for birds and small animals, away from the potential noise of our canine patients!

Dietary and husbandry advice
Unfortunately, despite the owner's best intentions, in our experience, as many as 95% of cases of disease in exotic pets are caused by incorrect husbandry.
That is why we are pleased to offer complimentary post-consultation appointments with our exotic's nurse. Whether your question is about providing the correct diet for your beloved macaw, creating environmental enrichment for your red-eared terrapin, or housing your chameleon correctly, we will be happy to help.
