How often should I clean out my new pet and all of their belongings?

Hygiene should always be considered as one of the most fundamental and crucial tasks to prevent any problems around your pet. Cages should always be cleaned on a regular basis, making sure that cleaning disinfectant is used in the process. Please ensure that you use the correct type of disinfectant as some are not suited around particular animals and can cause problems. We will update this section with much more information as soon as we can. 
 

How old do I need to be to be able to purchase a pet from your store?

You have to be over the age of 18 to be able to purchase any of our pets. This is due to the commitment of taking care and raising another life in your guidance. If you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian needs to be present to accept responsibility until you reach the age to purchase pets.
 

My pet seems to be unwell, what do you think I should do?

The best advice that we can give is to visit a vet to make sure that everything is okay. Although we have years of experience in this business, we do not have the knowledge to help animals like our beloved vets do everyday. If you want any advice for minor illnesses or accidents, feel free to contact us and we will try and help in any way that we can.
 

What advice do you have, regarding diet and food for my new pet?

Animals need to live a healthy lifestyle to be able to live a happy and long lifespan. We always recommend that you make sure that you know how an animal operates, mentally and physically. Different animals have different needs and there are different strategies which can be applied to ensure that any pet can live a healthy life. We will update our website with more information on how to look after your pet once they leave our store and begin a new life. 
 

Who is the best person to get in contact with about my pet?

You can contact us by email, phone or messaging us on our socials. If you think that the pet is not doing well, it is always good to make a vet appointment as soon as you can. If it is a bird it’s best to go to an Avian Vet.
