(from Google)Yea, I won’t be coming here anymore. I called ahead to make sure the store was open so I wouldn’t waste money and gas driving across town,. First they said they were open and when I called again, they said someone would be out in a minute. Thirty minutes later, I was pacing outside the shop and even walked around the flea market STILL, no one showed up. It’s incredibly frustrating to go out of my way, calling ahead to prevent this exact inconvenience, only to leave empty-handed and disappointed, especially when I’m trying to feed my pet. If you’re not available, just say so!
I will never forget the experience I had at this store. It happened months ago and I haven't been able to get it out of my head, nor the state of the pets when I came I had never been to this flea market, and also didn't know the store hours (they vary on Google and their Instagram page and the actual hours of the flea market itself). So my son and I came here after 2PM to look at pet rats for sale, not knowing the flea market was already closed. We drove around trying to find the store and finally just had to follow the stall numbers until we found it. But we actually didn't see the front of the store because the doors were already closed because we figured out right away that flea market, thus, the store was closed. The store's back door was propped open. It was in July and it was over 100°. My son walked through the door first and said hello, trying to see if anyone was there. He immediately called me to come up to the door. It was like something out of a horror movie. They had pet rats alright. There were tiny cages and one rat per cage. And out of the cages we saw just taking a few steps in, all of the rats were lying on their backs dead. There was no air conditioning, and like I said - 2PM at the end of July - which is like hell. And the smell was horrible. I can't describe the smell. We immediately left. But I can't get this out of my head, even 3 months later. We did find a rat at a different store, but my heart breaks thinking of the living conditions of those rats and pets.
This was a pleasant experience and a perfect lesson for new to moderate young pet owners. Michael was distraught after losing Pita having not know about lighting, cohabitating, and a specific species so it was nice to have an expert explain what he needs to ensure a happy and healthy habitat exists at home.
These people dont care about the proper care of their animals. Im a local and scope out this store often to check. They always ALWAYS have dead animals or multiple on very poor care. Their bunnies have poor food for their age, only bad pellets. Theres always dead fish and their birds are often in rough shape as well. I called the store to ask for the bunny breeder so that i can ask questions about care and age so that i can properly take care of it, and the man on the phone was very rude, saying "im not gonna give you my breeders number." I have also heard many instances from other people who have gotten animals from here with many issues they were unaware of. This store clearly only cares about money and likely get their animals from non reputable breeders if they are so unwilling to provide their customers with important information about the animals they are selling. They dont care about what happens to the animals that leave their store nor about the ones in it.
Great store, huge variety. The owners are knowledgeable and seem to care about the animals. I bought this beautiful Water Monitor, I took him to Doctor Rossi, just to be on the safe side and he’s been given a clean bill of health. They’re friendly, they’ll talk in length about the animals, try to educate you. I would recommend!
