I came here with my little one to get crickets for a little toad we found in our yard a few weeks…read moreago. My wife asked me to get 120 crickets, which seemed like overkill. To my surprise, 120 is just enough to feed a toad for 2 weeks. Here, the small crickets are $0.09 each if you get over 60, we walked out spending just under $12. Not bad. Regarding the staff, only positivity and smiles coming from these employees. We were there close to closing time so we saw some cleaning and closing tasks being taken care of professionally. They have some lizards, snakes, amphibians, birds, gerbils, and fish, and plenty of food and accessories that you need for your pets. I'll be back for more crickets in 2 weeks... and I'm thinking about getting the boa constrictor they have in stock!

I had 2 separate orders. I finished with first purchase as I had a separate coupon and then I…read moreadvised the bag of food for second transaction had a 10 reward and 10 off for members with purchase. I was told I had to go grab the 'code' off the tag to ensure I was a member to get offer. I explained I just gave you my phone number from previous purchase and I used my member $10 reward for that previous purchase (proves I am a member) and now I am to get out of line, run to back of store to take a picture of the code on your own store's barcode tag so I can get the reward advertised? Yes, according to Christina the cashier as well as the manager, Erik that I was supposed to get out of line and go back and take a picture in order to claim. (Not like an employee or say a manager just standing there could offer a solution by getting the code himself as my previous purchase wasnt even in bags for me yet) I regrettably do so and came back and stood in line to finish transaction and made the comment "that your system is so asinine" to which Erik stated "you don't need to use that kind of language." I had to educate this older gentleman that in no way is 'asinine' a bad word or inappropriate. I asked him if he knew what it meant with no response from him and proceeded to tell him exactly what that word meant. I received no apologies from Erik for his rude comment and was stunned by his lack of inappropriate managerial actions/words. I won't be returning to this location by supporting this particular franchised location.

There was a new group of hatchlings that were being nurtured until ready for going to a new home. Kennedy was a standout at B&B! She knew everything about the linney breed and help assure my wife that caring for the bird would be within our capabilities as new bird owners. The purchase process, take home process, and the regular check-ins have been filled with excellent customer service. Everyone in the store is willing to help and answer questions. I also really love the frog room and though I didn't open any of the drawers (you're not supposed to without help), I realized last time that they have a ton of snakes that are just not on display. There is so much to see here and friendly and knowledgeable staff, so if you're looking for something other than a cat or dog, this is the place for you!

You are NOT going to have a problem like that with Thomas Tails. They actually research their products and it shows. There is a couple we pass on our street when walking the pets and my wife mentioned the Stella and Chewys food to them because they said their dog was having problems with sore joints. They tried it and when I saw him the other day he looked like a new dog! His head was up and he actually looked happier. I don't know what they were feeding him but the RAW diet makes a big difference. I don't want to sound like an infomercial but its true.

I wanted a bird feeder, but wasn't sure what type of setup I needed, so I contacted a local birder who recommended Flying Friends. Eric at Flying Friends recommended a setup and various types of feeds. He assured me that the birds would show up and told me what species to expect. Sure enough, after a week or so, I started getting visitors. We have had lots of house sparrows, house finches, black capped chickadees, red-breasted nuthatches, and an occasional woodpecker. I'm glad I went to Flying Friends. Eric is very knowledgeable and helpful. If I had not gone there, it would have been hit or miss.
