Abstract
INTRODUCTION
According to recent data, about twenty percent of New Zealand households own exotic companion animals (Companion Animals New Zealand [CANZ], 2020). To provide veterinary care for exotic companion animals, knowledge of their unique husbandry and disease is required by the veterinary team (Grant et al, 2017). A recent survey from the UK identified a lack of confidence and knowledge of exotic companion animals amongst veterinarians compared with dogs and cats with the concern this compromises the welfare of these species (Wills & Holt, 2020). A lack of confidence was also identified amongst veterinary nurses in the UK compared with nursing of cats and dogs (Crowther & Holt, 2017). This study investigated the self-reported confidence and knowledge of veterinary nurses in New Zealand in managing exotic companion animal species.
