I work with snakes and sometimes they do feel threatened so they latch onto you, but usually if you stay calm and don't move the snake will let go, in my experience anyway, also pouring a tiny tiny tiny amount of any kind of alcohol into their mouths will make them let go, just have to wash their mouths out after
My local pet shop sells birds fish cats duck rabbits and guinea pigs and right now they have like 30 rabbits lots of fish and birds 2 ducks and 5 kittens but no guinea pigs🙁
Never buy a bunny from a pet shop. They didn’t even know the bunny was pregnant, and also a lot of bunny food they sell is poisonous to them, and they cannot drink from those upside down water bottles, it’s like only drops coming out, so basically they are dehydrated and dying of thirst
Bunny drink out of water bowls just like dogs and cats, my bunny has a water bottles as an extra sorse of water but always has a bowl, please spread and nuter your rabbit, they can and are supposed to get fixed. Rabbit need lots of space, do not buy those tiny cages from the pet store. A hunch is good, or if you do buy a cage make sure it extra large. My bunny has a play pin with everything he needs. Rabbit requirer a lot of hay and Timothy is the best. Rabbit are very social animals and require a lot of attention and time, as much time you would give a dog or cat is what you would give to a rabbit. Please do your research first before getting any pet.

I work at a pet store and one thing I wish people understood is that it's not a petting zoo. It stresses the animals out and unless you're serious about getting one then please don't ask to hold them.
@mentosfreshh if you're talking about the Petco and PetSmart cats, you CAN'T just go in there and hang out. The stores don't run that section of the store. The representing shelters do. Employees are not given those keys and you'll get bitched out if you're on the clock and hanging out with cats instead of doing what you're getting paid to do. It's a job like any other. You even have to contact the shelter and set up a meeting if you are interested in a cat. The store associates will do nothing more than tell you to fill out an application and drop it in whatever box.
With most animals it is like that, if you are working with a cat or a rodent it is not a very good idea except dogs love it and they encourage people to play with them so they aren't sad.
Actually as someone who worked in the pet care department for Petsmart for 4 years I can guarantee we have keys to that section in order to feed the animals/clean the cages. I worked at 3 different stores and this was always the case. We just didn’t handle the adoption stuff. That was all up to the rescue.
I work at a pet store and it kills me seeing the cats in those cages up until they get adopted. And when employees approach them to play with them for a bit, you can see their excitement. The same with the mice. You really gotta be a bit tough to work at pet stores.

Most "aggressive" snakes are acting out of fear and stress. A pet store is often a really stressful environment for a snake to be in which can cause them act more defensively. I've meet many snakes who were stressed and defensive at stores or even breeders but once placed in a home they usually calm right down. Also this is an animal at a petstore, it probably had very little socialization since it hatched. Snakes need to be handled and socialized so they are not as stressed and defensive when being moved, handled, and cared for.

Pet store employees tend to not have good knowledge about their animals...a dude literally told me when i got my mice that i could keep the 5 females in a 10 gallon....i told him that they had a 200 gallon long tank for them and he said 'Its too big'....
@@shrekscumslut1341 At my chain of stores we actually have an employee training program that goes through the do's and don'ts and the nutrition of animals too. I do completely understand where you're coming from though. I've gotten bad advice too.
I disagree with following a petstore employee's advice. Places like PetSmart, PetCo, Pets at Home and most chain pet stores do not train their employees to be equipped with all the knowledge of the animals/animal products sold at their stores. When people go in talking about hamsters, they're told "they can live together, get this Crittertrail cage, buy cotton bedding" ALL of which are incorrect and dangerous. This isn't the employees fault however unless you truly understand what you're talking about, do not give out advice. As to people reading this, the chances that a petstore employee knows what they're talking about is slim, so please, before getting ANY type of pet (yes, even fish, hamsters etc) Do. Your. Research!
after working in pet stores and with animals for the past 9 years i can honestly say the horror stories i have are all from the customers ive dealt with
“Look, I-I’ve got a snake... I can’t help y-“ “LET ME SPEAK TO THE MANAGER, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN INSULTED-“ Working with customers in a nutshell😂
Too Relatable!!! Some “Karen” customers just don’t care if you’re in a situation like this or if you’re busy folding clothes 24/7, straightening merchandise, putting stuff back where they came from (especially if they are online returns from the back room, from the fitting rooms, and/or maybe just in the wrong place). You’re in the zone doing your job and some customer comes up to you and wants you to help them find something very specific (with no specific things about the item: the brand, color, size, any details about the item). Then you are running around the store like a crazy person trying to help this customer without any helpful and discernable hints about this item. It becomes soooo frustrating because you have lost your train of thought and place with what you were doing last. I have always thought about not helping a customer because of how tired I was or I don’t know how to help them but their are eyes everywhere you look (your supervisor, other managers, other customers, other coworkers). They could easily report you to one of your managers or those anonymous surveys they urge to take after you buy something from their store. Anyone else have or had to deal with this type of stuff?
Being some who loves animals and has grown up with many MANY different animals (birds, rats, mice, gerbils, dogs, cats, frogs, fish, spiders, a duck, etc.) I can say that you should get a pet from an animal shelter, if the animal looks in terrible shape, like fur missing or shut eyes, I recommend that animal. And if your looking for rodents, there are some places where the only have rodents you can get. If you do go to a pet store tho, go for pet supplies. Thanks
ISATOU CEESAY i dont think you realize rats are less likely to carry diseases than dogs and cats are. Not to mention clean eachother and themselves a TON.
I work with dogs and in my opinion, if you feel something against cleaning up after them, you shouldn't be working with animals. It's all part of the job
This reminds me of when I got a job in a vet clinic at 16. I wanted to be a vet literally my whole life until I worked there and experienced some of the most horrifying things I can't even put into words. Needless to say, life goals changed up pretty quick by the time I graduated high school.
I work a shelter.... i feel all this. Though the poop... ive gotten used to it. If im at work, there is poop somewhete on me. And bloody poop usually isn't a big deal unlss accompanied by other symptoms. 9 times out 10 though it just means the animal has worms.
Same!! I work at a dog kennel, and I have specific work clothes because let’s face it, you’re going to get poop on you whether you like it or not. I’ve had Great Danes tackle me, dogs drag me through the grass when trying to walk them, all of it. It’s just part of the territory
@@audreyandremington5265 Most of the animals tend to eat grass or something to treat worms. They'll know themselves on how to cure it. Mother nature has given that sense to animals. My neighbor's dog cures things like worms or cold or something mild like that by himself. He eats grass and small plants and leaves. His vet himself told that. But yeah. If it is serious, the vet gotta treat him.
The rats are so true!! I have a pet rat named Remy and I’ve had him for 1 and 1/2 years. I love him so much!!! He is so amazingly smart and well behaved
I love how they call individual problematic animals "a**holes". It's true. I love a lot of different animals, but every now and then you get a jerk animal, just like people.
Dont work at a pet store. I suffered for 6 months. For management its def more about the money than the animals 100%. I couldnt stand the lack of care they had for the animals wellbeing and quit. I would even get reprimanded for giving the animals what care they needed not just the bare requirements. Awful job.
Am I the only person who has had good experiences with dog breeders? I've own 2 miniature schnauzers and a bichon frise and they were all pure bred and registered with the AKC and various other pedigree organizations. They could easily trace back the lineage of these dogs over 200 years. The homes of the breeders were covered with ribbons and trophies. The kennels where the dogs slept where ALWAYS cleaned, the floors polished and they had a vet come and check all the dogs every month. And before you ask YES the dogs were VERY expensive but we got them a little cheaper because we didn't intend on breeding or showing them and they gave us a discount if we promised we neutered and spayed them. I don't mind paying a lot of money for a dog that I know is healthy, well bred and well taken care of.
The stories about the amount of bloody stool they dealt with should be a reminder to everyone to adopt don’t shop 👍🏻 get an animal that’s overseen by vets, not high schoolers.
I have a few rats and they tend to be very squishy (can wiggle out of a lot of things) and very fast, so even that would probably be difficult as well.
Right??? About the snake: "We eventually sold it. Whew." Ummmm so you're glad you shoved it off on someone else just so you don't wanna do what your job entails......?
Rats are super smart. My school had several that they trained to do tricks, and afterwards we ended up with one. One of the coolest things he did was help us rewire part of the house after a squirrel got inside the wall and destroyed the wiring. We had just redone the stairwell and didn't want to smash it out. I tied yarn to our rat and put him in a hole at the bottom, and called him while waving treats at the top of the stairs. He zipped right through the wall. He had been trained to do mazes so this was a super easy for him. I hooked the wire to the yarn and pulled it through. We got both wires threaded this way without ruining the whole wall. My grandpa had to take a walk around the house, muttering that he'd seen a man walk on the moon, but this was the strangest thing he'd ever seen.
When the girl was talking about dog poop I said in my head “My dog is biting a poop emoji plus I’m eating and now I don’t think I can eat anymore” OOOOF
The fact that bloody stool is a normal occurrence for animals at pet stores is pretty sad. It’s a clear indicator that chain stores like Petsmart really don’t have the time to implement quality care :(
spent a week at a petstore working through a school project. mid week their grey jacob parrot bit my finger. dragging off about a inch of skin down to my nail bed. i told no one. and walked around with papir stuck to my finger for a whole day. i also had to clean aquariums with a dishwash brush in two diffrent pirahna tanks... which wasnt fun at all.
As someone who worked in animal rescue, this video was mainly disappointing and alarming that someone clearly didn’t care about the wellbeing of the dogs. They’re in cages and that’s their only home.
Ooooh about the kingsnake. My first snake bite was a kingsnake. And the thing about it is once you get bit you get that reflex like "oh no! get your hand away!" but then in the back of my head it's like "WAIT!" And i'm glad that i listened to that voice in the back of my head saying to wait because i remembered. If you jerk your hand back while the snake is biting you, those teeth will drag and make the wound even worse. Lucky for me the kingsnake was like "oh wait, this is a finger, not food" they let go within a minute. And what she said was true, it doesn't really hurt that much, it's like pin pricks
It’s up to you but as much as I love animals I never will. Pet stores get their animals from a place called SUNPET and abuse them so much. Pets from pet stores are often very sick when they are bought. Adopt and please don’t shop!!! There are plenty of other opportunities that work with animals! You could be a vet, groomer, trainer, own a shelter, or be a pet photographer!
I worked in a pet store for 6 months and I loved it but I agree with everything said in this video. The struggle is so real when it comes to dealing with animals
Use an ice cube if a snake attaches its jaw to you because they'll try to get away. You can also use a vinager spray in there mouth but ice cubes are easier to come by than a vinager spray.
I worked at a chain pet store for 2 years. People would treat us like a wildlife rehab. They brought us baby squirrels, injured birds, bunnies, and protected gopher tortoises. And then they’d get mad and call us heartless when we refused to take them in. I had to report a few people to FWC.
Gonna start by saying sorry for the long post, but I worked in pet stores for so long that I saw and experienced a lot. After 6.5 years of pet stores, I can honestly say it was one of my favorite jobs. I love animals and learning about them. I have been covered in every bodily fluid imaginable, bit more times than I can count by more different types animals than I can name, and still looked forward to going in to see the ones that I had grown attached to. We had a red tail boa that would curl up in my hair every shift I worked. I would always go to his cage when I got there and he would immediately pop up and try to get out to me. I had a few hamsters and rats that were like that. I had a super aggressive rat that attacked everyone that I actually took home and she became the sweetest thing ever. I had another rat that was trained to the point that he could open his own cage and come right to me. I think the worst things I dealt with were the snake that the “importer” brought in that was illegally acquired in South Georgia and was so aggressive that it attacked everyone, including me. I called that guy so fast and gave him hell. I was so angry at how he got the snake and I threaten to call the cops. Needless to say, we quit doing business with him. I also had the job of clipping parakeets’ wings. I never used the gloves cause I couldn’t hold them safely. They loved to pick at my cuticles. I would come out of the room almost every time with my hands bleeding. Needless to say, I am not, nor have I ever been, a bird person. My time at the pet stores taught me about animal nutrition, proper handling techniques for my safety and the animals’ safety, how to care for exotics and fish, and also how to better understand their body language. I also learned what parvo smells like (rusted metal) and what an ear infection smells like. (Grape jelly if you want to know)
I’ve never worked at a pet store but are used to love walking home from school and stopping at this one pet store to play with the hamsters and one day when I was playing with them I opened up the cage and saw the mommy eating her babies I hate hamsters now
@@yt_anarchy459 it's not they like to be cabalistic, they only eat their babies when they are stressed, or when a people touch them, because they don't have the same smell so the mom can't identify them or when the babies have problems like is blind or something because they know they can't take care of the baby and the baby will just suffer
If you have a snake guys try to have vodka on hand (if you are of age) because if you put it in a spray bottle and spray it on your snake if they bite you then they will usually let got Hope you found this comment helpful
There are a few things that help get snacks to let go. Running their head under some cold water for very short amounts of time, putting rubbing alcohol on a q-tip and dripping it into their mouth can also work.

This isn't the employees fault however unless you truly understand what you're talking about, do not give out advice. As to people reading this, the chances that a petstore employee knows what they're talking about is slim, so please, before getting ANY type of pet (yes, even fish, hamsters etc) Do. Your. Research!
Your so patient to write all that :o
after working in pet stores and with animals for the past 9 years i can honestly say the horror stories i have are all from the customers ive dealt with
amen
“Look, I-I’ve got a snake... I can’t help y-“
“LET ME SPEAK TO THE MANAGER, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN INSULTED-“
Working with customers in a nutshell😂
Too Relatable!!! Some “Karen” customers just don’t care if you’re in a situation like this or if you’re busy folding clothes 24/7, straightening merchandise, putting stuff back where they came from (especially if they are online returns from the back room, from the fitting rooms, and/or maybe just in the wrong place). You’re in the zone doing your job and some customer comes up to you and wants you to help them find something very specific (with no specific things about the item: the brand, color, size, any details about the item). Then you are running around the store like a crazy person trying to help this customer without any helpful and discernable hints about this item. It becomes soooo frustrating because you have lost your train of thought and place with what you were doing last. I have always thought about not helping a customer because of how tired I was or I don’t know how to help them but their are eyes everywhere you look (your supervisor, other managers, other customers, other coworkers). They could easily report you to one of your managers or those anonymous surveys they urge to take after you buy something from their store.
Anyone else have or had to deal with this type of stuff?
I HAVE A SNAKE, I CANNOT HELP YOU

I couldn’t have been the only one thinking “um take that dog to the vet immediately” when she started talking about the dog’s poop
She cared more about her shift then the dog
THE DOOOG!! 😫😤 IT ACTUALLY DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS DOING THAT TO YOU😂
Being some who loves animals and has grown up with many MANY different animals (birds, rats, mice, gerbils, dogs, cats, frogs, fish, spiders, a duck, etc.) I can say that you should get a pet from an animal shelter, if the animal looks in terrible shape, like fur missing or shut eyes, I recommend that animal. And if your looking for rodents, there are some places where the only have rodents you can get. If you do go to a pet store tho, go for pet supplies. Thanks
Thank u for the rats and saying there like small dogs! NO ONE BELIEVES ME! That the rats are so so sweet! ❤️
Coconut & Cookie not all dogs are sweet *cough* from my experience 😳

How to detach a snake: bourbon.
The foul taste will cause them to release their jaw grip
Any alcohol works
Vinegar also works
Omygod!! A crazy rat lady! I was a intern at a pet store and got two rats. I got a 3th one later from a rattery :). I love them sm!!
I have 2 baby rats! I love them SO much!!! They are amazing...and SO FRICKIN smart their names are blue and beau (pronounced bow)!
Toast Animates stuff RaTS 🐀!!?!? Um 5hise are rats there dirty etc
ISATOU CEESAY maybe do more research on PET rats
Toast Animates stuff i have four rats and they are the absolute best pets in my opinions and always try to cheer me up
ISATOU CEESAY i dont think you realize rats are less likely to carry diseases than dogs and cats are. Not to mention clean eachother and themselves a TON.
Rebreakings YES! That’s sooooo true!
I work at a doggy daycare, and BOY do I have stories. I love my job with all my heart, but some days I wonder how I’ve survived this long.
"The customers were like never-mind" 😂😂 And why did so many of the dogs have bloody poop? Uhm that's not normal
I worked at a pet store for 8 years and I loved it! I got to take the sick puppies home and that made them better when I brought them back.
who tf buy that snake? 😂😂
Me
Probably to breed them. Reptile hobbyist really don't care, they're really easy to tame.
I have seven. Ones 70 pounds and 10 foot long.

I work with dogs and in my opinion, if you feel something against cleaning up after them, you shouldn't be working with animals. It's all part of the job
Esp sick dogs...
Meaning if your not careful you spead infections from animal to animal
This reminds me of when I got a job in a vet clinic at 16. I wanted to be a vet literally my whole life until I worked there and experienced some of the most horrifying things I can't even put into words. Needless to say, life goals changed up pretty quick by the time I graduated high school.
THAT DOG WAS SICK HOW ARE THEY NOT TREATING IT BLOOD INDICATES DIARRHOEA ARE A TONNE OF SICKNESSES

Plz im trynna eat here can you not describe the poop that good ........
Never mind I'm not hungry anymore 😪
I work a shelter.... i feel all this. Though the poop... ive gotten used to it. If im at work, there is poop somewhete on me. And bloody poop usually isn't a big deal unlss accompanied by other symptoms. 9 times out 10 though it just means the animal has worms.
Same!! I work at a dog kennel, and I have specific work clothes because let’s face it, you’re going to get poop on you whether you like it or not. I’ve had Great Danes tackle me, dogs drag me through the grass when trying to walk them, all of it. It’s just part of the territory
"just means the animal has worms"
Ugh Worms?!?! If an animal has worms it needs to see a vet.
@@audreyandremington5265 Most of the animals tend to eat grass or something to treat worms. They'll know themselves on how to cure it. Mother nature has given that sense to animals.
My neighbor's dog cures things like worms or cold or something mild like that by himself. He eats grass and small plants and leaves. His vet himself told that.
But yeah. If it is serious, the vet gotta treat him.
Or maybe the dog's on their period if it's female
The rats are so true!! I have a pet rat named Remy and I’ve had him for 1 and 1/2 years. I love him so much!!! He is so amazingly smart and well behaved
I love how they call individual problematic animals "a**holes". It's true. I love a lot of different animals, but every now and then you get a jerk animal, just like people.
I've been working at a vet clinic for 6 years. I've seen a LOT of things and have a TON of stories now lol
5:41 awh. it looks like my old cocker spaniel that we had to put down. rip molly.
Tf do all 32 likers personally know your dog?
I’m sorry you needed to put her down
swarm of bees i had a vizsla named moly who passed
Right when she said rats are amazing. I was like... YES GAL! Omg I llooovvveeee rats! I have owned 6 rats, and they were all sweethearts!
Dont work at a pet store. I suffered for 6 months. For management its def more about the money than the animals 100%. I couldnt stand the lack of care they had for the animals wellbeing and quit. I would even get reprimanded for giving the animals what care they needed not just the bare requirements. Awful job.
The rat lady is me 100%
If u put a Male and female rabbit together. They're 👏 going 👏 to 👏 mate!
Dog with BLOOD IN ITS POOP her my shirt BLOOD IN THE POOP THAT DOG IS SICK
Am I the only person who has had good experiences with dog breeders? I've own 2 miniature schnauzers and a bichon frise and they were all pure bred and registered with the AKC and various other pedigree organizations. They could easily trace back the lineage of these dogs over 200 years. The homes of the breeders were covered with ribbons and trophies. The kennels where the dogs slept where ALWAYS cleaned, the floors polished and they had a vet come and check all the dogs every month. And before you ask YES the dogs were VERY expensive but we got them a little cheaper because we didn't intend on breeding or showing them and they gave us a discount if we promised we neutered and spayed them. I don't mind paying a lot of money for a dog that I know is healthy, well bred and well taken care of.
I was shopping for my dog and heard someone ask an employee if a dog toy would make a good dilido
@Nosheen Afzal its better you not know.........
The stories about the amount of bloody stool they dealt with should be a reminder to everyone to adopt don’t shop 👍🏻 get an animal that’s overseen by vets, not high schoolers.
why not... get a container/bucket and trap the rat in it
and then maneuver a piece of cardboard or a folder or something under her 🤦♀️
that's my catch and release method for wolf spiders that happen to find their way into the house
It’s hard to think clearly in a moment of panic.
I have a few rats and they tend to be very squishy (can wiggle out of a lot of things) and very fast, so even that would probably be difficult as well.
Hey
Tim Bert hoi
Hey
Ay yo
How are you guys
Hi Llo good wbu
“Look I have a sna- I can’t help you right now!”
The fact that they still sold these animals that were obviously aggressive just shows how shady those pet stores were. WTF
Right??? About the snake: "We eventually sold it. Whew." Ummmm so you're glad you shoved it off on someone else just so you don't wanna do what your job entails......?
Rats are super smart. My school had several that they trained to do tricks, and afterwards we ended up with one. One of the coolest things he did was help us rewire part of the house after a squirrel got inside the wall and destroyed the wiring. We had just redone the stairwell and didn't want to smash it out. I tied yarn to our rat and put him in a hole at the bottom, and called him while waving treats at the top of the stairs. He zipped right through the wall. He had been trained to do mazes so this was a super easy for him. I hooked the wire to the yarn and pulled it through. We got both wires threaded this way without ruining the whole wall. My grandpa had to take a walk around the house, muttering that he'd seen a man walk on the moon, but this was the strangest thing he'd ever seen.
Hahah, i feel the struggle. But working as a zookeeper can give you some real good horror stories
When the girl was talking about dog poop I said in my head
“My dog is biting a poop emoji plus I’m eating and now I don’t think I can eat anymore” OOOOF
Considering i did work at a vet clinic i understand the pain :’)
“look like little gummy bears with fur on it” that part made me crack up
The fact that bloody stool is a normal occurrence for animals at pet stores is pretty sad. It’s a clear indicator that chain stores like Petsmart really don’t have the time to implement quality care :(
spent a week at a petstore working through a school project. mid week their grey jacob parrot bit my finger. dragging off about a inch of skin down to my nail bed. i told no one. and walked around with papir stuck to my finger for a whole day.
i also had to clean aquariums with a dishwash brush in two diffrent pirahna tanks... which wasnt fun at all.
I’m volunteering at petco on Monday and now I’m scared 😱 thanks
As someone who worked in animal rescue, this video was mainly disappointing and alarming that someone clearly didn’t care about the wellbeing of the dogs. They’re in cages and that’s their only home.
Cleaning the bird cages were always the scariest thing for me because they were smart and the bite was the worse
Ooooh about the kingsnake. My first snake bite was a kingsnake. And the thing about it is once you get bit you get that reflex like "oh no! get your hand away!" but then in the back of my head it's like "WAIT!" And i'm glad that i listened to that voice in the back of my head saying to wait because i remembered.
If you jerk your hand back while the snake is biting you, those teeth will drag and make the wound even worse.
Lucky for me the kingsnake was like "oh wait, this is a finger, not food" they let go within a minute.
And what she said was true, it doesn't really hurt that much, it's like pin pricks
As a dog groomer I really have to roll my eyes at their horror stories. They have no idea how bad it can get.😂
Adopt, don’t Shop. ❤️
when i grow up i might want to work at a pet store
like if u love animals
👇🏻
I have 3 Snakes, A 6 Moths year old Spider, 5 Dogs (4 of them are puppies) And 1 Kitten so.. I guess I would
It’s up to you but as much as I love animals I never will. Pet stores get their animals from a place called SUNPET and abuse them so much. Pets from pet stores are often very sick when they are bought. Adopt and please don’t shop!!! There are plenty of other opportunities that work with animals! You could be a vet, groomer, trainer, own a shelter, or be a pet photographer!
if u love animals why would u wanna work at a pet store
@@flvshed8867 exactly. You're just going to see them get neglected or go to mostly bad homes.
I wanted to be a pro but nm
I worked in a pet store for 6 months and I loved it but I agree with everything said in this video. The struggle is so real when it comes to dealing with animals
Rats are absolutely amazing pets. They're so cute and so sweet. I've had 3 and they're the best
NOT TODAY SATAN!
Let's not forget the snake was 100% underfed, a snake only bites like that as a food response. It was starving.
My brother got his cat from a pet store and the cat ended up having ear mites and so many other problems.
The cat is fine and healthy now tho
Use an ice cube if a snake attaches its jaw to you because they'll try to get away. You can also use a vinager spray in there mouth but ice cubes are easier to come by than a vinager spray.
I worked at a chain pet store for 2 years. People would treat us like a wildlife rehab. They brought us baby squirrels, injured birds, bunnies, and protected gopher tortoises. And
then they’d get mad and call us heartless when we refused to take them in. I had to report a few people to FWC.
The dog in the thumbnail looks almost exactly like my dog

i addicted with this kind of interview buzzfeed are making
whenever i see it , i cant do anything but pause my stuff to watch it
Gonna start by saying sorry for the long post, but I worked in pet stores for so long that I saw and experienced a lot. After 6.5 years of pet stores, I can honestly say it was one of my favorite jobs. I love animals and learning about them. I have been covered in every bodily fluid imaginable, bit more times than I can count by more different types animals than I can name, and still looked forward to going in to see the ones that I had grown attached to. We had a red tail boa that would curl up in my hair every shift I worked. I would always go to his cage when I got there and he would immediately pop up and try to get out to me. I had a few hamsters and rats that were like that. I had a super aggressive rat that attacked everyone that I actually took home and she became the sweetest thing ever. I had another rat that was trained to the point that he could open his own cage and come right to me. I think the worst things I dealt with were the snake that the “importer” brought in that was illegally acquired in South Georgia and was so aggressive that it attacked everyone, including me. I called that guy so fast and gave him hell. I was so angry at how he got the snake and I threaten to call the cops. Needless to say, we quit doing business with him. I also had the job of clipping parakeets’ wings. I never used the gloves cause I couldn’t hold them safely. They loved to pick at my cuticles. I would come out of the room almost every time with my hands bleeding. Needless to say, I am not, nor have I ever been, a bird person. My time at the pet stores taught me about animal nutrition, proper handling techniques for my safety and the animals’ safety, how to care for exotics and fish, and also how to better understand their body language. I also learned what parvo smells like (rusted metal) and what an ear infection smells like. (Grape jelly if you want to know)

2. “Are”

Lmao what

WTF LMFAO
Wtf
I’ve never worked at a pet store but are used to love walking home from school and stopping at this one pet store to play with the hamsters and one day when I was playing with them I opened up the cage and saw the mommy eating her babies I hate hamsters now
Jill Winters they like to do stuff like that they acutally enjoy being cabalistic
@@yt_anarchy459 it's not they like to be cabalistic, they only eat their babies when they are stressed, or when a people touch them, because they don't have the same smell so the mom can't identify them or when the babies have problems like is blind or something because they know they can't take care of the baby and the baby will just suffer
Literally I have had all of these things happen to me as I work at a vet hospital l
“The animal kingdom is a f****d up place.” Wow-
I was a vet tech assistant for three years and I saw SO MANY DISGUSTING THINGS.
If you have a snake guys try to have vodka on hand (if you are of age) because if you put it in a spray bottle and spray it on your snake if they bite you then they will usually let got
Hope you found this comment helpful
i was the crazy rat lady...

Somebody help me ahhhh
There are a few things that help get snacks to let go. Running their head under some cold water for very short amounts of time, putting rubbing alcohol on a q-tip and dripping it into their mouth can also work.
3:20 NO Rabbits do not do this 🙄. If a doe is eating ber kits their is something seriously wrong with the kit.
