What do I need to do if I would like to become an exotic veterinarian, like at a zoo and a private practice?

I would like to become an exotic veterinarian, like one who works at the zoo part time and one who works at a practice for people’s pets part time. What school would I need to go to, and what course requirements would I need? I know that it would be insane to try to work on a large number of animals at the zoo, but like…say I specialized in big cats, at the zoo, what would I need? And if I worked with sugar gliders, ferrets, rats, etc…in the seperate practice. Is there a seperate veterinary school, or simply seperate course requirements?

Anyone here have experience with training sugar gliders, rats, birds, or horses? Read details.?

I am trying to find people to interview for my new animal site that knows how to train the animals I’ve listed. It would be a great help! I want to help educate people on proper training but these are the animals I havn’t been able to deal with much so I’m not totally sure!

my yahoo screen name is millithemortician if you are interested in helping!

THANKS!!!

I want another pet very badly..?

I probably want another rodent- being as we are defenatley not getting another dog and not getting a cat. No ferrets, chinchillas, rabbits, or sugar gliders, because they cost way too much. No rats, either. Unless you have a nice story to tell me. Any pets that I might like? Please help.
I am very good with animals and I love them all… Some just cost waaay too much.
and I know how to take care of hamsters.
no hermies… bad experience..

does anyone have any hands on experience with sugar gliders?

do they ever get tame or stay wild as barn rats?
