    Great little shop, brought some tackle and the gentleman was very knowledgeable. Reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend, close to a few different fishing lakes which is ideal.

    Best Pet Shop in Cheshire! Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff, competitive prices, beautiful selection of 'exotic' animals! Even provides 'kennel'- like service for exotic pets! Purchased my bearded dragon a year ago from them as a baby, and have returned every week for food and supplies and support!

    Great place, they really care for their animals, arranged to keep a pinktoe for the next day and wasn't an issue. Go the extra mile for you and know their animals very well. Would recommend this to many other exotic pet shops I've been to, 10/10, just need more space and a bigger shop! Would love to see more animals

  • 3/5 Zack J. 4 years ago on Google
    Have bought a leopard gecko from here and he is doing fine and is almost 2 years old. Recommended my Mum to get a young budgie from here but it sadly passed away this morning, it was fine one minute then the next it lost all coordination and was 'stargazing' leading me to believe that it had Ataxia. After sitting on his cage floor for a while he then passed away. Even though this condition is hereditary and difficult to notice until its almost too late, I believe that the mother of this budgie should have been diagnosed with Ataxia and customers should be informed of what this condition is when they purchase their budgies. The budgie was purchased less than a year ago but unfortunately the Ataxia seemed to spread fast leaving us no time to get him to a vet.

    Been in today for goods. Great service, lovely lady who served me, very helpful and chatty. I will definitely be back.

  • 2/5 Freya H. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff but unfortunately they could do with some improvement. They sell unsuitable cages for small animals and birds. The budgies we got from there sadly have PBFD (French Molt) - this will be more of an issue caused by the supplied breeder rather than the shop. The breeder was in the store at the time of the last visit. He shockingly never heard of this highly contagious and fatal disease! The store could be greatly improve if the owners are better educated on animal welfare, supply better and more suitable products, and find an ethical breeder for the birds.
