i only work on aquatics as our store is already divided. so im not gonna pretend to care about knowing about rodents. we are recieving oata training and apperently will be having a live in marine biologist with us for a while.
please dont judge me by the standard you judge your local PAHwith cos i do know what size common plecs grow to and consequently try not to sell them to anyone.i advise fishless cycling. and ASK before selling anything (such as fighters in comunity tanks cos i dont thnk its right)
would NEVER advise keeping a male and female together. wrt to rodents and some fishes
and if i dontknow i will say, excuse me while i get a member of staff who might know. (you wont believe me i know cos pets at home are the devil but im not bothered to b honest cs im telling the truth, maybe its just my store that runs properly??)
we have staff downstairs (rodents etc) who are petcare trust trained and have done college courses (admittedly not while at pets at home)
wont sell fish if the tank is not appropraite. consequently we get a lot of abuse from people who think they can keep goldfish in bowls, plecs in 10g, fighters with tiger barbs etc
besides. the 'correct' size cage isnt really something that is set in stone. its the biggest you can afford i would say. but then youll probably say thats wrong
im not bothered cos i know im right
i know what people think ofthem, and i thought it at first but now i work there and its nice to try and educate people from the inside rather than having a nice old moan about 'they always do this, they always do that' how do you know? you dont. im sorry i dont really know why im arguing for them cos its not like they will care but i dont like it when people presume you know squat when you work for pets at home. i wouldnt spend most of my spare time reading books, on here and doing ourses if i did.
i wontpretend that all the staff are great and all the stores are great cos i know that one near me is rubbish but my store isnt.
