My girlfriend is into exotic animals and she’s always wanted one as a pet. She lives in the Philippines so the pets available there can be limited and expensive. The last time I went there was during the Asian date tour we met in and I noticed how most of the animals people keep as pets were domestic breeds which weren’t really well taken cared of. I was thinking of buying one here in the States and bringing it with me to her place as a surprise birthday gift. Any suggestions on what animal I should pick out? Here are some few options I’m considering:

Hedgehog
Miniature Pig
Bearded Dragon
Sugar Glider

The other problem I would have is if it would be legal for her to keep any of these in the Philippines or if i could bring them over. If all else fails, my back up plan to just buy her a bred dog or cat instead. Need some advice!
