Fantastic experience: Brett is great for advice on getting started with a reptile. We got out bearded dragon from here and he took his time with us to let us choose one. All the while making sure we had all the correct info on keeping it.

Fantastic experience: Visited the store today and a lovely girl helped me (didn’t catch her name, she was blonde and looked young). Gave my dog treats, fitted her collar and let me use the toilet as I was bursting. Thanks so much

Positive experience: Thought it'd have more of a selection with spiders/tarantulas, it's ok but could be better.

Fantastic experience: A brilliant little independent reptile store, super helpful and provided us with a whole load of advice when we purchased our first beardie 10 months ago. We have just picked up our beardie (Frankie Beard) and our royal python (Mistie) after being boarded there for 2 weeks whilst we were on holiday, they look happy and healthy. They took loads of information with regard to their food, likes and dislikes, whether they liked to be handled etc. when we booked them in. I would highly recommend this business if you are serious about your reptiles.

Melissa Rye (Melle) 2 years ago

Negative experience: Told they had rats. Arrived to find out that they weren't available and there was terms and conditions that we weren't made aware of, prior to travelling 8 miles to get let down. However I'm happy to travel a further 6 miles out to pets at home, who were extremely helpful. Much better customer service and the conditions were ten times cleaner. If your gonna sell pets helps if you know know what your doing in the first place . Very disappointed

Fantastic experience: Great staff, friendly and informative. Been a customer for about 2 years now and had no problems in that time. I recommend this vet to anyone

Cafgw 3 years ago

Positive experience: The shop needs to look into care for tortoises most species should not be kept in vivariums, also diet needs to be researched for them. Try the Tortoise Trust & The Tortoise Table. I also have a tortoise so speak from experience, learning along the way.

Appreciate the comments, I have good knowledge on Tortoises - We feed arcadia optimised52 diet with fresh dark leafy greens, Supplemented with arcadias earth pro - A and calcium pro.

Wouldn't be wise for a pet shop to keep tortoises in open topped tables for security. However modern Vivarium's are much better ventilated than they used to be. Alot easier to maintain optimum day / night temperatures.

We get a lot of customers who have trouble with their tortoises being inactive and not eating, all kept in tables.

So we recommend juveniles to be kept in well ventilated vivarium's and eventually going into a tortoise table as an adult.

Everyone has different methods - but this works for us, and has done for the last 10 years (without issues) :)

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience all round. The staff were friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. My daughter was very happy to be able to hold her new hamster (pre sale) and I was impressed by the care exhibited to ensure said hamster had a safe journey home as well as checking he would have a suitable home with us before letting him leave their care. Would highly recommend as opposed to the larger chain pet stores. Xx

We've spent a fair amount of time in the shop and bought many pets and products.

Fantastic experience: Great shop for all your pet needs upstairs and down, their vets are directly next door, lovely to see all the live reptiles they have in stock, very helpful, pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable staff..

Jayne Hanson 4 years ago

Negative experience: The sizes of the hamster cages in the store are absolutely atrocious. I did not see a single cage that was big enough for any rodent. The minimum size a cage should be is 85cm x 50cm, I don't think any of the cages are even half this size. It saddens me to think that any animal will spend it's life in one of those tiny cages. Whilst in the store I overheard a customer discussing buying a pet for her daughter with an assistant. The young girl couldn't decide if she wanted a rabbit or a hamster; it was obvious they were buying a pet on a whim and had done no research, they were choosing between 2 pets as though they were deciding which breakfast cereal to buy!!. The assistant should have sent them away to think about it and research both completely different pets to decide which would be most suitable for them, instead she sold them a rabbit. I consider this to be irresponsible and it was obviously more important to make a sale than make sure a pet was going to a dedicated, knowledgeable home.

Jackie Lyons 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been into the pet shop and also used the vets, the first time I had my dogs helped to go on there last adventure, in the sky. They were treated with the utmost kindness and help you through a most devastating experience to say goodbye. then I received a card offering condolences I thought that this act of kindness was so thoughtfull I would recommend this pet shop/ vets and now they have dog grooming added to there box of tricks.
