I have seen often the lack of hay for Guinea Pigs 'waiting' to be sold at Lancaster Pets At Home. Hay is the main dietary necessity for these animals. Around 2-3 yrs ago, Lancaster had no small animals on show to sell. The main Pets At Home 'storage' building where Lancaster re-stock from had flooded I was told by a girl working there and many small animals drowned so we don't have any here at present. I was horrified.
Jennifer supported: Stop Pets at Home selling animalsMy 8 year old sister once bought a hamster from pets at home which they claimed was a boy. 4 days later he gave birth to lots of babies. Ate them, then died a day later. Traumatised my sister. Any time I've seen other animals, they are always stressed. Even seen dead budgies on the floor with no staff bothering to take them from the cage
Jessie supported: Stop Pets at Home selling animalsI didn’t realise that piggies at pets at home got sick and ended up in rescues but something that I’ve complained about before is the size of the cages sold for Hamsters & Guinea pigs.
People will buy these animals without researching how to care for them and will assume the cage sold must be the right size. It’s so cruel.
Whenever I have been in a pets at home, I have seen that the animals have adequate hay and food but I expect that depends on whether you have animal lovers working there - people clearly aren’t trained properly or there wouldn’t be so many stories in the comments of dirty bowls and no hay.
I wholeheartedly agree with this petition, they need to stop selling live animals.
