I have purchased quite a few rats from here, the first rat I had from here was a wonderful rat, the next two rats got were in with boys and girls and were both pregnant with litters. The staff also came off as rude and uninterested when I talked to them. They handled the rats with a roughness and aggressiveness by the tail (which is unhealthy for a rat by the way) and chucked them into the box I was supposed to take them home in. Other then that though, the items and food are really good quality, but still a one star because I am more concerned about the animals then the items.

I’ve bought from fish and feathers a couple of times and the in store experience wasn’t terrible but it wasn’t great either. Staff seem disinterested and come off as a bit rude.
I purchased two rats and both of which had upper respiratory infections which I later realised. It was also quite unsettling to see how the staff handled the animals. Very rough and clearly stressed the animals out.
I also know someone who has purchased fish from fish n feathers with worms, unknowingly at the time.
Living conditions of the animals are not great. Crowded, unclean small enclosures and cages that do not accomodate the animals basic needs. The animals are obviously not receiving adequate care.
Staff need to be better informed about the animals and how to take care of them. However, if you are seeking to buy an animal from any pet shop it is also your responsibility.
But it is fish n feathers responsibility to sell you an animal that is healthy, well looked after and has been kept in acceptable conditions.
I don’t like to say this about a small pet shop but fish n feathers you need to do better.
