A Friendly (But Important) PSA 🐾
We get it — sometimes rescues may not have exactly what you’re looking for (especially those of us with smaller operations). But before buying from a pet store, please be sure to ask the staff to visually confirm the s*x of the animal you intend to purchase (when applicable). ESPECIALLY if you're buying a pair.
We hear horror story after horror story of families being told they’re purchasing two animals of the same s*x… only to be surprised with babies shortly after bringing them home. If the animals aren’t separated quickly, the cycle can repeat – instantly in some cases.
If the pet store can’t confidently confirm the s*x, please reconsider your purchase. Accidental male/female pairings are far more common than people realize, and they often lead to overcrowding, stress (for everyone), and animals needing rescue.
