Otters are relatively cute animals from the outside, so some people will want to keep them as pets at home. However, wild otters can not be raised as pets, because otters belong to our country's protected animals, private farming is illegal. Moreover, wild otters themselves live in wild environments, and their bodies may carry some bacteria harmful to humans. Moreover, wild otters, after all, belong to wild animals, still have a certain degree of wariness of humans, after being provoked by humans may also attack humans.
What can be kept as pets are otters that are themselves artificially bred. In fact, the history of otter farming has been relatively long, such otters are more familiar with human beings, so they are more friendly and can be used as pets. However, the cost of breeding otters is relatively high, not only the otters themselves are more expensive, but also the food and equipment provided in the process of breeding them need to spend money. But otters are still more lovely, they have a higher IQ, can recognize the Lord, and after recognizing the Lord will be very clingy, sometimes closer than cats and dogs to people.
As mentioned above, wild otters can not be raised as pets. In our country, wild otters are protected animals and can not be domesticated, which is illegal. However, some otters that have been farmed since childhood can be domesticated, but as mentioned above, the cost of keeping otters is relatively high. And otters are not very easy to raise, they have higher requirements for the surrounding environment and food.
