Did you know?
- Guinea pigs are social animals and thrive in pairs or small groups.
- They communicate through a variety of sounds, including purrs, chirps, and whistles.
- Guinea pigs have a lifespan of 5-7 years, so they are a long-term commitment.

We have a very sweet Quaker available. Showing lots of love and affection towards humans (and landing on heads!), we see a great future for this bird! Currently unsexed but we are able to add sexing onto the Quakers purchase if you are wanting to know. Quakers are very self assured, intelligent and social. They are very active and will require a large cage, with lots of out-of-cage time, and will love spending time with their "flock" of humans. If you'd like to learn more about the wonderful Quaker parrot, please visit us and we'd be glad to tell you more 🥰
We have one Central American Banded Gecko available. These crepuscular geckos are comfortable in a 20-gallon setup and eat different bugs for their main diet. They do like a bit more humidity and should be housed on a substrate like forest floor and coco fiber. Our reptile staff will be happy to help you if you'd like to learn more about them. :)
We have some really neat Pink and Green Sea Cucumber in stock. Ideal in tanks larger than 30gallons, these guys are generally reef safe with caution. They are filter feeders, pulling small particulates from the water column, which stick to the hair like appendages off its plume - they then move these particulates to the mouth and ingested. Come take a look and talk to our fish specialists to see if these would be a good addition to your tank!
