😠 Too many animals too close together in appalling conditions. Substrates are not right for the reptiles, birds too much together in small dirty cages. Half-eaten young rooster with the rest of the poultry. Also varieties for sale without the right papers. WHY DOES NO ONE INTERACT HERE??? People often mention animal, reptiles, store, bought, bird,

    Reptiles are not kept under the right conditions and are resold with bad advice. There are too many birds in a cage that 2 of them lay dead on the ground from pecking. Many dead fish in the aquariums and a sick parrot, half blind, which spreads diseases like you have at home. I am not an animal activist or vegetarian, but if you have a pet shop, take care of them or hire people who do.

(Original) Te veel dieren te dicht op elkaar in erbarmelijke omstandigheden. Ondergronden kloppen niet bij de reptielen, vogels te veel bijelkaar in kleine vieze kooitjes. Half opgevreten jongen haan bij de rest van het pluimvee. Ook soorten te koop zonder de juiste papieren. WAAROM GRIJPT NIEMAND HIER IN???

    Bought a reptile here a while ago. Back then without experience. In the store they seemed to understand it and said that the animal did not need heat, was a completely different animal than in reality and that it ate fruit porridge. When we arrived home, the animal turned out to be damaged on the tail and side. The animal also only ate crickets, not fruit porridge. Less than a month longer, the gecko was already hanging dead from the glass. Turned out to be a Madagascar day gecko, who needed much more than I could offer them and the store said. From this experience, I now buy all my animals at a fair, instead of in a store. If I had had the experience I have now, I wouldn't have bought anything there, but as a novice reptile keeper you don't look critically enough.

    The aquariums looked okay, but the reptiles there were very thin and the substrate was not always good. As far as birds are concerned, it's just sad. They have not been tested for diseases even though they are all close together in small cubicles. Some lonely in a cage, a gray redstart trembling pathetically on a stick and no toys available. Can only imagine how sad they must feel when the store is closed and there are no distractions at all. I would hope that they will be bought as soon as possible, but if someone ignorantly buys a disease-carrying bird there and they already have birds themselves... this is really bad.

    Awesome place! Whether you come here to buy something or just look around, it's totally worth it! They have a huge variety of fish, rodents, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Let's not forget the great talk I had with an African grey parrot. The shop feels like a mini zoo and it won't disappoint you!

    I bought reptiles here and I buy my crickets here. No complaints. Reptiles I bought included basilisks, day geckos (over 10 years ago) and some tokeh geckos a year ago. They were all well and had no complaints at all about their health. The aquarium fish I bought were also healthy. I like looking at the fish and reptiles. I come there monthly to weekly. Bad reviews have been posted, but when I visit I see that the reptiles are very well cared for, as are the fish. The store is very old and cozy, which also has its charm.

    (Translated by Google) Reptiles are poorly housed. Staff very young and know nothing about reptiles. Only get frozen mouse (Original) Reptielen zijn slecht gehuisvest. Personeel erg jong en weten niets van reptielen. Haal er alleen maar diepvries muisje

    These animals are kept in terrible conditions. It hurts to even look at them. I’m surprised this is even allowed in a country like the Netherlands.

    Helpful when purchasing the bird, but at home I was immediately told by a bird expert that I had to go back because the bird would probably not be healthy if we had bought it from this store. We were so attached to the animal in those two days that we continued to care for him. We took him to the vet and it turned out he was sick. Had to give antibiotics and painkillers every morning, which also cost us 50.-, which isn't bad because you already love the animal. But administering it to such a small young bird is no fun. The animal ate, drank, played well and also sat happily with us. Unfortunately, he fell off his perch more often and we found him dead this morning. Exactly 5 days later... Typical because we were warned about it after purchasing. Poor bird.

🫀 Op zich een nette en overzichtelijke winkel. Wat ik echter wel jammer vindt. Is dat ze groot aanprijzen dat ze de "voordeligste" zijn. Terwijl van 't merk "Voske" kip kluifjes ruim 2 euro duurder zijn dan elders. Vriendelijke personeel en behulpzaam. Maar prijs weegt bij mij toch zwaarder.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Last week we visited Beens for our Kakariki, she had not been out of her cage for a while and was scratching herself a lot. On the advice of the friendly employee, we purchased Parasita, because she might suffer from lice or mites. Put 2 drops of this in the neck and we have a completely new animal...
