One
of
the
worst
pet
shops
I
have
ever
been
to.
Dozens
of
animals
stuffed
into
disgustingly
tiny
tanks.
No
heaters
or
enrichment
for
any
of
the
tropical
birds.
No
air
pumps,
sumps,
or
any
equipment
for
the
fish
tanks
(which
were
all
completely
FULL
of
gigantic
goldfish).
The
tanks
were
egredgiously
overstocked
and
underfiltered.
The
reptiles
had
no
heat
source,
many
had
no
hides
and
were
being
cohabbed,
which
is
a
major
NO
for
animals
like
leopard
geckos,
ball
pythons,
and
others
that
were
crammed
together
when
I
visited.
There
were
around
10
red
slider
turtles
left
in
a
3
foot
long
tank
with
less
than
an
inch
of
water
in
it.
There
was
only
one
dry
area
for
them,
all
of
the
turtles
were
struggling
to
sit
on
the
one
dry
rock
under
the
(I'm
hoping
it
was
a
heat
lamp)
heat
lamp.
No
source
of
temperature
control
or
filter
in
their
tank
either.
The
finches
all
had
overgrown
toenails
and
could
hardly
move
in
their
cages.
Around
6
rats
were
in
each
of
the
3
tanks
for
them
-these
tanks
couldn't
have
been
more
than
10
gallons
each.
ALL
of
the
rats
had
scabs
and
bloody
patches
from
fighting
with
one
another.
The
"baby
rats"
cage
(as
it
was
labelled)
was
completely
covered
in
newspaper,
and
one
of
the
owners
yelled
at
me
when
I
tried
to
look
inside.
There's
signs
saying
"No
pictures!!!
No
videos!!!"
in
every
corner
of
the
store.
If
the
owners
were
really
taking
good
care
of
the
animals
they
have
in
stock,
they
wouldn't
feel
the
need
to
hide
what's
inside
their
store.
Not
to
mention,
many
of
the
animals
have
questionable
origins.
Some
of
the
birds
for
sale
are
listed
as
illegal
to
own
in
the
state
of
California,
I'm
doubtful
as
to
if
the
owners
know
this.
I'd
say
it's
safe
to
assume
so,
unless
they're
so
ashamed
of
their
husbandry
that
they
have
to
put
signs
up
everywhere
saying
not
to
share
pictures
of
their
store.
I
spent
some
time
talking
to
and
petting
their
Amazonian
blue
faced
parrot
through
the
cage
she
was
in.
When
the
lady
(one
of
the
owners)
saw
this,
she
ran
over
and
yelled
at
me,
claiming
this
bird
bites.
I'm
not
trying
to
call
into
question
the
treatment
of
these
animals,
but
I've
worked
with
very
agressive
birds
before,
and
this
animal
nuzzled
his
face
into
my
hand
upon
meeting
me
for
the
very
first
time.
I
really
don't
see
a
bird
this
friendly
biting
anyone
without
provocation.
After
she
yelled
at
me
to
stop,
the
lady
ran
around
the
corner
of
one
of
the
aisles
in
the
store
and
said
something
to
her
husband,
who
then
came
around
the
corner
and
followed
me
the
rest
of
the
time
I
was
inside.
Which
wasn't
very
long,
because
as
soon
as
I
started
to
look
through
the
goldfish
tanks,
he
told
me
that
the
store
was
closing
and
that
I
needed
to
leave
immediately.
I
asked
why,
since
it
was
a
few
hours
earlier
than
the
listed
closing
time
on
their
door.
He
just
said,
"No,
you
need
to
get
out
now."
I
went
across
the
street
(where
my
bus
stop
was)
and
watched
as
they
proceeded
to...
Not
close
the
store.
And
let
other
customers
in.
For
the
full
30+
minutes
I
waited
for
the
bus.
Funny
how
they
were
so
eager
to
close
when
I
was
looking
around,
but
didn't
seem
to
be
in
a
rush
once
I
was
gone.
Needless
to
say,
I
will
not
be
going
back
to
their
location
for
business.
I
will
do
my
best
to
document
what
I
saw
and
add
the
photos
to
my
review.
If
you've
read
this
far
and
are
looking
for
a
good
place
to
get
fish,
birds,
and
other
animals,
I
would
HIGHLY
RECOMMEND
Age
of
Aquariums
in
Long
Beach,
Reptile
Factory
in
Long
Beach
and
Garden
Grove,
Hong
Kong
Tropical
Fish
in
Norwalk,
Atlantic
Tropical
Fish
in
Norwalk
(which
sells
various
fish,
birds,
and
some
reptiles),
and
ESPECIALLY
Tiki's
Tropical
Fish
in
Bellflower
(which
sells
nearly
every
animal
and
all
you'd
need
to
care
for
them).
These
shops
have
exemplary
quality
animal
care
and
stocking,
and
the
owners
are
knowledgeable
when
it
comes
to
the
animals
they
sell
and
how
to
care
for
them.
Please
consider
doing
a
little
extra
driving
to
support
one
of
these
businesses,
they
really
do
care
about
their
line
of
work.
I
went
into
the
Ramirez
pet
shop
expecting
the
same,
and
left
dismayed.
