Just wrote my furious message to petsmart... Figured you might like to read it
I was recently at one of your stores in Oregon, and was shocked to see 5 male guinea pigs all crammed into one cage! This is absolutely RIDICULOUS. 5 males would struggle to get along if they had a whole room as their cage. They were all bickering and they only had one water bottle. Not to mention the lack of hay.
Your employees are not educated properly and I think that's disgusting. Hay is 80% of a guinea pigs diet and I have never seen more than a handful of terrible quality hay thrown into a ball. Regulations need to change to make this illegal. The way you treat your animals is revolting. I haven't even begun to mention the cruelty you make all the other animals in your care endure. Do you not know that wire wheels are terrible for hamsters? Do you realize that you are feeding them the wrong things?
Please step up and do something about this. Every animal deserves to be treated with love and respect. Honestly if you changed your thinking things would improve. If you have ANY questions on guinea pig of hamster care PLEASE please please contact me. Or at least talk to someone who knows something about those animals. Go to guinea pig cages forum for advice on piggies or go to hamster hideout for advice on hamsters.
I am not even going to talk about how some of the things you sell could kill animals. I could make a massive list of improvements for your store and employees.
Petsmart, please speak for those who have no voice.
