Re: Stupid garden centres selling pets!

I just visited Burleydam Garden Centre, on the Wirral, today to get some fish and I have to say I was very impressed with their pet section, all the cages looked clean and tidy but the thing which impressed me the most was one of the assistants was taking the time to speak to this boy, who was there with his dad to buy a rabbit, she got one of the books that they sell about rabbits and was going through it with him showing him how to choose a rabbit and what cage and food they need etc .... if only all pet shops were the same !!

Re: Stupid garden centres selling pets!

completely agree, it puts me off going in them every time, most of the staff who just help out a weekends dont seem to know what their doing. I even told them 1 of the rabbits had conjunctivitis and they just wiped his eye clean and left him with his brother. grrrrrrrrrrrr

Another neglected, bored and eventually aggressive bunny that they will get bored of and either leave in the cage or rehome.
