Business response:
Amy we're sorry for your negative experience. Perhaps you might share your story so we can improve in the future?
Horrible customer service, do not shop here. A few years ago I purchased a "Rare cinnamon" hamster for 50 dollars, the hamster was very deformed and had teeth and tongue problems until the day she died, she would go into dead sleeps and was nearly impossible to wake, sadly she died from apparent organ failure, this was heartbreaking because we did all we could to extend her life but in the end it was in vain, but because I like supporting local businesses I called in twice to inquire about getting a new pet from this store. ... read more

Nadiv, we're very sorry about your experience. After speaking with the staff to review our customer service practices, I'd like to address a few of your concerns. As we've mentioned previously, our small animals are bedded on aspen shavings to avoid the negative affects of pine. These bedding materials look very similar so the confusion is understandable. Those who purchase ferrets are free to buy whatever cage they like after considering our recommendations. As for the rabbits and Guinea pigs, we also addressed this previou... read more
walked by today and was going to stop in to grab a dog toy, until i saw a poor bunny in the window living in a tiny box with 2 guinea pigs, on top of pine shavings. not to mention HUGE black flies all over the window. if you are going to be selling rabbits, while there are plenty of amazing bunnies in shelters already, then you should at least take the time to learn how to properly care for them! rabbits and guinea pigs should not live together for both of their safety. and rabbits should not be on pine shavings as it can ca... read more

Amanda, thanks for reaching out! I read over your concerns and I wanted to take a moment to respond. First, we've never had an issue with the bunnies and Guinea pigs living together, but we're always open to learning new things. If you have information sources you wouldn't mind sharing, we'd be happy to read them. Second, you are absolutely correct about pine shavings. That's why we use aspen shavings, but they do look similar. Finally, yes, we do have some big flies running about. A vial of feeder flies came in a delivery b... read more

Thanks Julia!!
The best owner and staff around. We love our fabulous Bearded Dragon, who was obviously lovingly raised here. We love the care and attention we get and how Barb kept us posted on our boarded Beardie when we were out of town (my 6 year old was heartbroken to leave him behind, but Barb was kind and sent text updates!!). We could go to big box stores, but why? We certainly will never get the care and personal attention there that we get at #theefishbowl.
