I went and had a look at a couple of different
pet stores today with my best friend and her b/f. We usually have pretty ok pet stores here but the firt one was horrible....The
rabbit cage was soooo dirty (I don't think they had cleaned it out for weeks) had no bedding and it was outside and obviously permanently outside cause it was sinking into the ground. I was furious!!! I checked all the rabbits for signs of diarrhoea and checked their teeth for malloclusion (sp) but thankfully they were all in good health. I plan on going back there one day soon with an info sheet on how rabbits should live...I had to keep my mouth shut today cause I was so cranky with them and I knew I would have lost my cool and not gotten my point across.
Anyway we then went to a new store that had just opened up. Everything was soooo nice and clean and they had their animals in big cages! The best part was that I got a great new toy for my girls! They had these wire balls in there that hang rom the top of the cage and have a bell on the bottom....you can fill them with vegies, or hay (which I did when I got home) or even just plain old newspaper if you have nothing better! I was so happy to see something different out there for rabbits! They have only been open for five weeks and are still waiting on stock but they said the plan is that they want to get a lot of different things in stock cause they are sick of seeing the same toys in all the pet shops and basically there is nothing for rabbits anyway. They had lots of different rabbit indoor cages and so many things that I recognise from American websites so yah finally we are getting some American stuff in!!!
I really hope they survive....I think I'll be their best customer!!!
