Common medical problems diagnosed and treated in individual companion exotic mammals are relevant in a herd-health setting. Many of these problems are often associated with poor husbandry and/or inappropriate nutrition. Rabbits, ferrets, chinchillas, and rodents have been domesticated alongside humans and an understanding of their ethology gives veterinarians a base knowledge in making recommendations for animals in their care. This article briefly reviews the ethology and husbandry in such species, but detailed needs are beyond the scope of this article.
在群体健康环境中，个体伴生外来哺乳动物的常见诊断和治疗医学问题具有相关性。这些问题中有许多通常与不良饲养和/或不适当的营养有关。兔子、雪貂、龙猫和啮齿动物与人类一起被驯化，了解它们的行为学使兽医在为他们照顾的动物提出建议时具有基础知识。本文简要回顾了这些物种的行为学和饲养管理，但详细需求超出了本文的范围。
