One of the worst pets shops I’ve ever seen even pet smart has bigger and set up enclosures for the animals what caught my attention most was the chinchilla because I have one, this chinchilla looked depressed in anxious they are social creatures and it did not have a friend in an entirely too small enclosure where it can’t even be active only has pellets no hay which is one of the main part of it’s diet and chinchillas are meant to be in colder temps. The birds enclosures were also too small as well and as well as the bunnies who had a to share a small enclosure with no room to hop around.

I love this store. I go here weekly for all the animal food and bedding. I bought a rabbit about 2 years ago and is still healthy and happy. Also bought an axolotl. They ordered it for me and explained how to properly transfer it to it's tank. I didn't know I could request specific pets and ordered online first. Shipping killed it after it stayed stuck in a warehouse for days. so when I came for pet food and told them how upset my son was they were able to get one. This was over a year ago and its doing great. I wish I would've asked and never ordered online. Their pricing was cheaper all together. They did hold it first to make sure it was healthy. I like to look at the animals and fish with my daughters whenever I go in and I never see any sick or dying. The staff is always friendly and helpful for all my questions. my daughter has a snake that wouldn't eat after we got it but they helped me figure out it needed a living mouse. The place we bought from never told us so I was trying frozen ones warmed up. They always pick the right size since it's growing and l want to make sure I'm getting the correct one.

This place went above and beyond for us. I went in with no knowledge of fish care. They helped us with everything. If we went to a Pet Smart or something similar they would have just sold us fish and they would have been dead in a week. Instead they explained everything to us and suggested we setup the tank and come back in a week to have the water tested and then decide on fish, which is what we did. I highly recommend this establishment over any other place in the area.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Should the rules for axolotls be that 1 per 10 gallons? Because I have 1 in my 20 gallon tank but I really want to get him a friend so please get back to me

David Silva | Sep 22, 2021
shaunna lyn | Sep 23, 2021

The rule of thumb is a 20 gallon long tank for one axolotl, but for each additional axolotl it should be another 10 gallons. (Example: 2 axolotl sis 30 gallons)

Hello, I’m just wondering if this store sells hermit crabs and caters to the needs of hermit crab owners. -Thank You 👍🏻

Wesley Cureton | Nov 22, 2019
Rich | Nov 23, 2019

I've never bought hermit crab supplies from this place, however, I own hermit crabs. Most stores are not equipped to deal with hermit crabs. Every single hermit crab sold in the store is a wild-caught hermit crab. They do not breed in captivity. I do not advise getting a hermit crab, or keeping them, however, if you must, please do it the right way. Hermit crabs need a lot of things. Do NOT keep them in a wire mesh cage. Those cages are an absolute death sentence for them. They need humidity at least at 80% and above. I keep mine at about 85 to 90% humidity. The temperature ranges anywhere between 75°f, and 85°f. You need a mixture of Eco Earth, and sand for the substrate. Your substrate needs to be at least deeper than the thickness of the shell by at least 2 in. They bury their self when they molt. They must have that. Also, If you go to the store, and they have painted shells, steer clear of them, because they don't know what they're doing. Painted shells are poison to hermit crabs.
