    I have a friend that lives on a sea yacht. An otter become friends with his lab. The otter comes in through the dog door, and jumps in the ocean during the day. It's funny. He's just as gentle as a dog.

    If you're going to keep certain exotic animals as pets, just give them the type of happiness and comforts they'll never get in the wild, Kotaro and Hana get to swim in both their pool and the river and their owner even gives them birthday parties which they get excited for.

    There's a couple of Japanese CZcamsrs who own small clawed asian otters (the one I watch is called Kotsumet) and they're the closest I've seen to having an otter living in your home rather than an outdoor enclosure. They are very very well treated and cared for and they take them anywhere they are allowed. The male they own even knows tricks. I'd say they make good *selective* pets, as they are like a dog and cat combined that also need a large body of water to swim in. It is a lifestyle, like owning an alligator is one. They have captive bred ones since I think there's a couple breeders in Japan

      They make great pets but they are very very smart, the smarter than cats, they do crave attention tho, its best to get a male and female pair as in the wild they will almost never be alone and really need constant company to feel safe. You can train them to do all kinds of tricks, walk on a lead, and use a litter box without much issue. They do love fish the most but will eat most types of cat food and chicken/turky.

    Mr. Chow is lovely and I'm glad he has you to take care of him. Only very few people can provide what otters need, they're certainly not for the average pet owner or income! I love them, but I would never try keeping one. There are a couple of CZcams otter channels that do a great job and others that don't - it's good to know the difference.
    You also need to keep them in at least groups of 2 (Mr Chow is an exception as a rescue of course!).

You play with him exactly the way I used to play with my ferret! It's interesting to see it in animals from ferrets to otters to everything else. The noises are even similar, tho those jaws are a LOT bigger! Haha

    There’re few YT channels from Japan where people own otters as pets. From what’s shown in those vids it’s extremely fun and entertaining, iWorks go further and say it’s a next level pet. So playful, cute, funny and great swimmers. That’s where it might be a little extra work as well cause daily swimming it’s necessary for them to maintain good health so that means you’ll have to adapt yourself and your house to that. An area to dry them up will be needed, etc. conclusion: I would totally have otter as pet❣️
