Strider - This is an official store, not a player owned one. It isn't eligible for the Spending Spree freebie. Do you still want to purchase these animals?

@BCLG100 - Exotics are sometimes available on a special order basis. We can get a tiger for 1000g. We also have a lead on a white elephant for 1200g.
@jdd2007 - Yes, this is the official store that Equirias competes directly with. Equirias has better prices on the items that it carries but this shop carries a larger selection.
@SAAM - This is an official store so you can't use Spending Spree funds here. Do you still want the dachsund?
@jdd2007 - Animals R Us would be interested in purebred kittens.

We've got Ocelets for 300g. 2 left. They have the advantage of being fairly trainable and can be kept (relatively) safely indoors. We'd like to keep them together so if you want both we'll sell them to you for 450g

You have 1780g in your account right now.
Ocelets are regal hunting cats about 24 inches at the shoulder (picture below). They are trained to hunt and bring back their kills. When trained correctly (and our are) they are almost as safe as a house cat. Like all tamed wild cats they will quickly revert to a feral state if left alone for long periods of time or released to the wild for any appreciable amount of time.

Okay, here they are. It's the best 450g you'll ever spend. The trainer will accompany you for the first 2 days to get them used to your voice and smell and make sure they transfer their obedience to you.
They will require several pounds of red meat each day, per cat. They also need a good amount of exercise. The trainer will show you how to hunt them. If you hunt them every day, that will provide some of their diet and all of their necessary exercise.
One last note, once the trainer leaves you will have a rough couple of days when they will try to rebel. Do not hunt them during this time - feed them yourself by hand (carry a big stick in the other hand and don't be afraid to use it if necessary). When they begin showing obvious affection to you with or without food you have won them over and may then hunt them.
Incidentally, this is a mating pair, which is why we wanted them kept together. If you successfully breed them we will purchase the kittens for 25g each.

Absolutely. We'll even throw in a fine wicker cage.

Yes, 60g for the birds.
The bulk of the cost for the ocelots is the huge amount of training time they require. There's also a fairly high death rate in the kittens. That's why we can only pay 25g per kitten.

In the wild they will have fairly large litters. In captivity you can expect 2 to 4 kittens per litter. The kittens must be removed as soon as they are born and fostered on a domestic cat. The parents will kill them if they are not taken away.

They don't hunt in groups but yes, they can eventually be returned to a community environment with the parents. At around 4-5 months they will no longer be in danger from the parents. Just be sure to reintroduce them slowly and you shouldn't have any problems.

I am purchasing 10 hunting dogs and 5 foxes. At 50g each that is 750g.
