I wish there was a zero. Then place is ridiculous! So many things wrong! I bought my guinea pig from there and the cages were way to small! The rats and gerbils were kept in terrible terrible conditions! The chinchillas were huddled together ON WIRE! Who in the right mind keeps animals on WIRE! The rabbits were in way way to call cages! Aqua land needs to be shut down! Terrible place never getting my buisness again! The only animals who were treated right were the snakes and lizards! Very sad to have to see these poor animal... read more
Went to Aqualand to purchase a fish for my daughter and almost gagged walking in the door. The room where the fish were contained was very poorly lit. There were no overhead lights turned on and the lighting in the tanks was not always adequate. I watched a couple use a flashlight app on their phone to try and view some saltwater fish. The entire store smells and isn't ventilated properly for the number of animals they keep. The small animals such as rabbits and guinea pigs are all kept wire cages about the size of a cat car... read more
I'm a south sider so I usually go to Petco to purchase my feeder rats. Have any of you smelled Petco? When I'm on that side of town I always stop here. They have always been courteous with me. Every pet shop who carries a large variety has a smell, EVERY one of them. As a pet owner we should know how to inspect an animal for mites etc. They have a return period for any sick pets or pets that die. Yes, there are feeder animals there, it's the cycle of life. I have a 6 foot Boa that will only eat live rats, she has to get her ... read more
Where can I call to report this place? It can't be legal to walk into a place and have the animals out walking around on the shelves...is it? Small unhealthy conditions. So sad.
Extremely dirty, smelly, and cramped. The owner (or manager) was condescending and smug when I asked about an antibiotic powder that I needed to soak my bird's foot. Telling me that I would need to find a "benevolent vet who would write me a prescription, as this was the reason that drug resistant bacteria was taking over." None of this would have prompted me to write any kind of review, but, as I was looking around the store, I came across a dog crate with half grown chickens. They were labeled "Tastes like chicken!" and we... read more
Aqua land has had its off days... but recently they have updated their store. The lizards are more clean, so are the fish and rodents. The people are nice and the birds look healthy. I've had no real trouble here.
Very rude people, i asked a few simple questions about some insects they had and was treated like a total idiot. Couldnt fight the eye watering stink any longer so wasnt there long, dont go to this business unless you have a gas mask.
My family and I have been purchasing pets from Aqualand Pets since I was a young child and I am now an adult. Currently, we have a healthly bearded dragon(2+ years old) and a sand goby fish (5+ years old). Our beardie even won an award from Petco for most beautiful beardie. I love the variety of unique reptiles and fish they offer at their store. Mike and his staff are well educated and very helpful. Mike is very passionate about his animals in general and even particpates in community events.
This place smells. It is not big enough for its animals. I have bought rats, fish, and gotten a couple lizards. I followed their recommendations for care of the animals and they died after a couple weeks. One rat I bought was pregnant. I did not know this until it gave birth and I became over run with rats because they were all breeding in a small cage. That was years ago. I talked to someone about the sugar gliders and all the information they gave me was wrong. They had a pair in a small cage. Sugar gliders need attention ... read more
