Fish Bowl & More

We went here after being recommended, but these animals look terrible. The aquariums are filthy, the reptiles look horrible, and we left genuinely concerned for these critters.

We drove 45 minutes to go to the store and upon arriving it had a sign on the door. Be back in five minutes. We waited for 30 minutes and nobody still showed up. Very very disappointed.

I keep several kinds of animals, including fish, birds, reptiles, and small mammals. This place was a disappointment. There was a macaw sitting by himself on a bare perch with no toys or anything for him to entertain himself with (birds are very smart and need toys and other forms of enrichment). He should be in a home where he gets regular interaction with people he is bonded with, not stuck in a pet store entrance as a display piece all day with nothing to do and no companions. The “breeding” birds are kept in extremely small cages with little to no toys, and one of the parrotlets is being over-groomed by their mate (they had missing feathers all the way around their neck). There is a giant rabbit kept in a cage he can barely turn around in, there were 5 guinea pigs in a way too small cage with no bedding or hides, and an empty water dispenser, with the poor things rattling it trying to get water. There were so many empty water bowls, I mentioned it to the person at the desk (after waiting for him to finish talking to a friend while I wandered around aimlessly waiting for them to finish, it wasn’t until I stood behind the friend that the FRIEND said he should help me and left, very unprofessional) and was told “they were literally filled 10 minutes ago” and he stayed behind the counter. sorry, no, I wasn’t born yesterday. The baby tortoise bowl would not have dried up that quickly (poor things were sitting in their empty bowl with no water to soak in), and the bird’s water had clearly been sitting awhile, it doesn’t turn yellow in 10 minutes. And even if they had been filled 10 minutes ago, if they’re empty YOU GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND FILL THEM. Those animals rely on you for their basic needs, they can’t go get water by themselves. Also the fish tanks were in abysmal condition, algae everywhere. Judging by the fact that they can’t even keep their fish tanks clean, and can’t provide basic care and proper enclosures for their other animals, I would avoid going here for advice on care or anything to do with pets, they’re either clueless or just don’t care. The conditions were absolutely Shameful. I wouldn’t recommend shopping here if you care anything about animal welfare. I hope they do better or someone rescues those animals.

Seemed like a nice selection but when we walked in the door, no one spoke or said anything to us. After about 20 mins of looking around, just decided to leave.

This place is a dump. Should be shut down. Dirty and smells like mold. Tanks are disgusting. Whole place smells like mold and rot. Dude at front never said one word to me.
