The rabbits and guinea pigs here are kept in terrible condition. I attached photos of the rabbits…read more They're kept in way too small of cages. The one rabbit didn't even really have any food. Rabbits are prone to digestion issues and need to be able to be constantly eating. There weren't any hideaways provided for them, or any toys for enrichment or to chew on and keep their teeth down. I didn't get pictures of the guinea pigs. Their cage was literally just stacked on top of the rabbits'. But they also didn't have any toys and no hideaways. Because of this, they were visibly super stressed out because they were kept front and center of the store and didn't have any place to hide and get away from the stressors. The top of their cage was also just open and I saw little kids reaching their hands in without any employees around to facilitate customers interacting with the animals like that. Honestly terrible for everyone involved because A.) The kids could get bit B.) It stresses out the animals C.) The animals are learning to be afraid of people are going to be difficult to socialize with anyone that takes them home and D.) Any germs on the kids' hands could easily be transmitted to the animals and make them sick. This store should just stick with fish honestly. I'm not as knowledgeable about the other kinds of animals they have as I am about guinea pigs and rabbits, but the owners definitely either don't care about the animals or are just really uneducated about the animals they're selling.

Everything is well cared for, clean, and high quality. I came in just to browse and left with not only some amazing new additions to my tank but also the confidence to upgrade my entire setup. That's how good this place is--it inspired me to take my aquarium to the next level. If you're into fishkeeping at any level, this is the spot. Can't recommend it enough!

Up a long gravel road, among the rolling hills of the Appalachian Foothills is one of the largest Texas Longhorn breeding ranches in the country! Who knew?! (Note: George Lucas has bought their cattle.) Besides longhorns, Dickinson Ranch also raises BueLingo and Watusi cattle. All of the cattle are raised on the farm from birth - and you see them EVERYWHERE as you drive up to the main buildings. Dickinson Ranch offers so many activities, from lake fishing to tours of the ranch where you can hand feed the cattle a high-protein (soy, alfalfa, molasses mixture) treat the ranchers call "cow candy". You have to call ahead for tour info, but the "Longhorns Head to Tail" store on the premises is open daily from 9 to 5 - and that is where we found ourselves. The store is jam packed with everything cattle; From cow-skin rugs and pillows, to custom-made chaps, to handbags, horns, horn jewelry, skulls, and all of the meat. This ranch is super eco-friendly and against wastage - so you see products using every single part of every cow. They even sell canes/walking sticks made from the bull's penis. They definitely use ALL of the parts. As for the meat, there isn't a finer product. "Better than organic", the meat is all inspected by The Ohio Dept. of Agriculture or the USDA, free range and grass fed without the use of hormones, steroids, or implants. All the products are at least 94% lean, with most being in the 96%-98% range. Their products are low calorie and low carb. All of their products, including the hot dogs, summer sausage, jerky, and beef sticks are 100% beef. I ate two of the beef sticks this morning, and they are really tasty! Prices here are comparable to the grocery store and/or farmer's market. Unless you buy in bulk; In bulk, you pay wholesale prices. Also, even though they sell every cut of meat, they don't always have every cut available. When we visited, they only had two types of steaks available (one was filet). They also had ground beef, chuck roast, beef strips, beef bacon (their new product), beef brisket, beef wieners, cow tongue, ox tail, beef liver, beef jerky, beef sticks, sausages, etc. If you are visiting to stock up on meat you should call ahead to see what is currently in the freezer. The employee told us that they pull animals for consumption every 2-3 months, and their customers (70% of their business is repeat customers) come to purchase as soon as the meat hits the store. And, when it's gone it's gone.
