British laws on owning exotic pets?

GOOGLE IS NOT MY FRIEND.

I'm trying to find out what pets I can own here in Scotland. Probably won't ever be allowed to get one but I want a marble fox or a grey fox or a red fox or a serval or a margay or a fruit bat or...

Links to UK fox-breeders please. Also, talk about fancy pets.

I think it fair to say that I may have pointed out one or two impracticalities.

Not least I think I would end up doing all the feeding/cleaning /walking.

What the ferk is a sugarglider and how big do they get - the little one looks like a baby.

They are marsupials too. They have babies in pouches and they are ubercute.

So they are native to Marsupia.

Agreed they are pretty but it doesn't seem (according to the Wiki article) that they are all that easy to obtain or keep - what with them wanting to be sociable at 3am and all.

That said, Marble foxes are not exactly common in Ayrshire either.

I thought you were in Aberdeenshire.

I wouldn't recommend keeping anything wild as a pet, fox, glider, or even terrapins. You can't provide the environment they need and foxes will always have a bit of "fox" in them. You'd be better off getting her a pretty fox-like dog.
