pets@home horror story!
Well, you may be thinking, the pets where kept in horrible conditions, or i was given mad advice, well No, for once.
The guinea pigs have finally been seperated from the rabbits, lots of food, hay, water in pens, hamsters clean, no dead fish, They even had quite alot of cheap stuff in, everything was fine, until i looked down . .. saw somthing crawling on my arm,   I HATE bugs! - i flipped out, and hit it onto the floor, then i saw a huge, stick insect, all green with pinsers (sp?) My mam ran off, then went to stand on it, until i told her they were selling them  A women come over, and she put it back into its tank, where there was a hole.  Seems pets @home just get the care right then let the bloody animals escape

I see something terrible in there everytime I visit and it doesn't seem to matter which store it is.
And I don't think they should be allowed to sell degus. Have you seen how they are treated? The other day I saw they had a rabbit in a small glass box thing which was a bit odd and the sides weren't very high but the box itself was pretty high off the floor. Sure enough I had watched it for about 2 minutes and it managed to jump up and kind of get itself caught on top of the glass. He was going to have a nasty fall so I grabbed him quickly and gently placed him back inside. I explained that the rabbit is able to get out and will hurt himself or get stressed if is able to jump out and fall. The woman said, "oh yeah, it does that all the time" and walked off. I'm the kind of person who just eats my dinner when I get the wrong food at a restaurant. I'm not someone who complains a lot unless it's something really important. But they really don't like me in my local shop because I always see them feeding the wrong food to animals or providing unsafe habitats for them.

The one in Stevenage doesn't do any reptile specific products. Not sure about the rest of the country.

I should point out that when they did stock rep products at my store for a short while, there was a UV bulb, 3 different sizes of exo terra vivarium and bits of fake wood. The rest of the "reptile" shelf was filled with hermit crab items. The Exo Terra were about 30% more expensive than some other shops.
