WARNING!!
I was in there today and asked about guinea pigs. I was told they had two females. I said “excellent” because I have two males, several outdoor hutches, and this is exactly what I’m looking for as part of a long-term project (not breeding for selling).
Immediately, a staff member told me I could not buy them — and that if they knew I had males and females they would have to call the Department of Agriculture to report me.
This store has seriously confused its role. Staff members are not government officials. Refusing a sale over genuine welfare concerns is one thing — but threatening to report someone simply for owning both male and female guinea pigs is completely inappropriate and out of line.
There was no suggestion of cruelty, neglect, or commercial breeding. Just responsible ownership and a long-term plan.
Of note. I've 35 years experience in the pet, aquaculture and horticulture industries.
Very disappointing experience, shame my 9 year son was with me too.
