I totally agree with you on the wheels. Unfortunately we don't get to pick out the wheels we get to use, they just sent us a bunch of wire wheels. I plan on writing off 1 plastic wheel a week for the store until we eventually have all plastic wheels. I'm sorry you didn't get a giftcard! that sucks, I wasn't there because of a class meeting I had to go to or I would've saved you one!
Shop looks great, all animals seems to have right enclosure, substrate and lightning but I wonder for how long. On the grad opening everything is new, nice and tidy. After few months usually mess starts to appear, you see animals being kept in enclosures designed for different species because there is bigger demand. I remember my small local shop on the day of opening it was the same, few months later and they had no demand for many snakes so they used enclosures with sand and wooden chips to keep geckos and beardies in them, even to the point where I once saw chameleon in terrarium without light and plants but full of sand and 9 different size, sex and age leopard geckos in one big tank without single hide, of course on sand and with extremely strong heat lamp. They used that tank for something else but because they got shipment of geckos they decided to house them in there, they expect to sale them in matter of few weeks so there is no point for them to change all the substrate, décor and heating system. That being said it would be nice to see you doing update on this shop in few months time, its always looking great one first day but usually with time its getting worse. I hope this shop will keep the high standards because its always good to have proper pet store in your area and where I live is hard to find one.
I work at a PetSmart and we take care of our animals before anything else. The only bad thing I've ever seen is the enclosures getting filthy quickly, but I make sure to fix that.
I just came home from this one today.....it looks nice and I got my hamster today.....he had a wire wheel and I didnt like that but I got him a full one and he loves it.
A PetSmart just opened in my town (there wasn't any before so it was a big deal where I live) and I never got to go during the grand opening. I was really bummed about it but I've been there a few times after and it's okay I guess.
This one just opened up really close to me, I too went to the grand opening, my cats loved the feather toys. It looked really nice, but yes a few areas needed improving. I have to say I liked the cat adoption area though, much better than the independence store.
Do you have any advice for helping a hamster that doesn't know how to run on any type of wheel? Any advice would be amazing as on days when it can't go in its ball for long periods of time, it gets noticeably stressed and upset even though it has lots of other toys and chews in its cage.
Bunny Is the wheel the correct size? Does it turn smoothly and does it turn easily enough so that your hamster is able to turn it? Have another animal used the wheel before? Are there any sharp edges? Have you checked your hamsters feet for damage?
TheDesiLiter I have used many different wheels and the hamster has never even stood on most of them. I will check his feet, but I think he just doesn't understand what a wheel is.
Bunny have you tried marking what is the top of the wheel before going to bed, then seen if it has changed position next day? Also if it hasn't figured it out yet, it will soon. And it might just not be interested in a wheel. Some hamsters just don't like them. One of my hamsters doesn't, so had to buy her a bigger cage to roam in :P
There are some good and some bad with large chain pet stores. This one looks nice... We to are getting a new local petsmart in town but we have two other really really nice small chain pet stores already... People have to stop and think not all pet stores are ran by the same exact people, so just because your store is bad doesnt mean everyones store is the same. Nice video pickles.
Hi there! I was wondering your opinions on using an EXO Terra 40 gal reptile tank for a Syrian hamster I will be getting soon. I have not heard of many people using this tank and was wondering what your opinions may be on using the tank for a hamster instead of a reptile. Thanks!
I’ve never tried it, but I’m assuming it would be okay. The only thing that concerns me a bit is the way the front doors open. Since there’s only a few inches under the doors, if your bedding is deep like it should be it may make a mess when you open the cage.
You need to do a cost video going trough petsmart showing us the animals and telling us the prices im always curious and ive never seen any TH-camr do it
Hi you have really helped me out because I am getting a hamster this Friday and I have learnt a lot from you videos they where very helpful thanks for the help xxx
Slimy Xxgirls, at the Petsmart near me, they have those wheel, and they... they are rusted! So terrible! If they are still rusty next time I go, I might talk to one of the workers about them!
I just don’t get why a pet store would basically advertise a bad mesh wheel ? Why wouldn’t they use a nice silent spinner that they even sell. Whenever I go to my PetSmart, it make me mad
In petstores.. I don’t mind Syrians together. Their babies and can live together. Same with male mice. I don’t mind tiny cages, as there temporary. But I DO mind- I do mind harmful things like cotton bedding, wire wheels, etc. I do mind a social animal without a friend (ex lone guinea pig, lone chinchilla) My Petco is decent. They have a tiny bit of knowledge, all safe stuff,(in cage but sell harmful stuff) and most social animals have friends. It just bothers me that mice, which need 10-20g (depends the person) tank, have 55g tanks, and gerbils and hamsters have 5-10g tanks (20 if lucky). Anyways, nice video though. Congrats on 35k, been here since 10k, you deserve it.
Penelope Sacristan so what if mice "only need 10-20gallon" they and hamsters should all get tanks to allow them to play(I mean they all should get large cages)
The mice probably have the larger cages because Petco sells them as feeders or as pets, so they get (too many) in and they wouldn’t fit in a smaller cage.
Every time i see those metal wheels i want to scream , If i was in that pet shop id tell them straight what they do. Ive done it before i always complain to pet shops. Lucky in my pet shops they don't sell them or use them
Yay new video ^-^ that store is so big! Much bigger than many of the ones in the uk. Also I was wondering if you could give your opinion on this product for hamsters? It’s an all natural fluffy bedding that apparently grows in pods and is safe to digest? I have always stayed away from fluffy bedding but I didn’t know if this was safe as it is digestible? www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/rosewood-naturals-play-n-bedding-pods-2-pack
You shouldn't ship at places like pet co and pet smart because the quality of the animals life is not good there, they abuse their animals for profit just look how they treat their fish, constantly dead ones in tanks, not fed properly dirty water half the time. The way they treat their siameese fighting fish is apauling. I just do that think people should contribute to places like this
Mypetlife no but it's from the same chain so when you contribute to a "good one" it goes back and is distributed to all the "good" and bad. Just type it In on TH-cam pet co or pet smart abuse
caitlin not really, the whole point of not buying animals from there is so you are not contributing to chains or shops that treat their animals this way, buying products from there is giving them money and encouraging them to carry on. Buying animals from pet shops is okay but not from ones that treat them badly.

the hamster enclosures was lacking. Don't know about the rest

Abbi Martin cool i think my aunt used to work there ive only been to petco but i rlly wanna go to petsmart x3
You and Lori are making me wanna go to a grand opening 😂 They look nice!
Great Opening! I had fun at mine too! I love the shirts lol
That white hamster was adorable !!! I seem to love all plain coloured hamsters !!!
Seeing hamsters running on those metal wheels gives me heart palpitations. Why PetSmart sells them, I'll never know
At my PetSmart, luckily they use the solid plastic wheels.
Jean'nette yo I agree
Jack Day What's stopping you? Just go get one 😩
Sweet! I live about 20 mins from there but had no idea there was a new one opening! I just found your channel. :) subscribed.
I just came home from this one today.....it looks nice and I got my hamster today.....he had a wire wheel and I didnt like that but I got him a full one and he loves it.

R the mesh wheels in the cages good for the hamsters
Trent Noel no
This one just opened up really close to me, I too went to the grand opening, my cats loved the feather toys. It looked really nice, but yes a few areas needed improving. I have to say I liked the cat adoption area though, much better than the independence store.
LOL I saw that lizard dog toy in the PetSmart here and immediately thought of Steve!
Omg your so lucky to have petco and pet smart 😮😮 we only have small petshop here were I live

I didn’t realize we live so close to each other! That’s cool. And we went to the same reptile expo where we got our first snake 😂
There is actually a new pet store called “pet topia” in the kcmo area.
There are some good and some bad with large chain pet stores.
This one looks nice... We to are getting a new local petsmart in town but we have two other really really nice small chain pet stores already...
People have to stop and think not all pet stores are ran by the same exact people, so just because your store is bad doesnt mean everyones store is the same.
Nice video pickles.
I just went to a Petsmart at Iwilei, Hawai'i today. I got four Scissorstail Raspboras!! I used my first $2.50 rewards, too.
I saw your video on Taylor Nicole and honestly you're so sweet☺️ you deserve way more subscribers. I'm sure you'll blow up soon. Keep it up ma' 😌💗
OMG those guineas and rats are soooooo cute!

Hi you have really helped me out because I am getting a hamster this Friday and I have learnt a lot from you videos they where very helpful thanks for the help xxx
Cool! Have fun!
Why mesh / wire wheels
Them weels are so bad they could get sore feet and they could get trapped in the holes
slimy Xxgirls she knows😑
UmbreonXSylveon I know that she knows I was aiming it at pets mart
Ya it’s super bad it’s called bumble foot
Slimy Xxgirls, at the Petsmart near me, they have those wheel, and they... they are rusted! So terrible! If they are still rusty next time I go, I might talk to one of the workers about them!
Pet Craz Yeah you should 👍
I’m definitely looking out for grand openings just for the gift cards lol
Love this vid your such a good pet owner
All the baby cuties too cute I’m dying. I hope one day I can meet you in person and talk to you
Looks like a nice store. Too bad you just missed the gift card.
Great vid What happened to your guinea pigs??...🤔
dang what the heck, my petsmart is MAYBE half that size😂
I just don’t get why a pet store would basically advertise a bad mesh wheel ? Why wouldn’t they use a nice silent spinner that they even sell. Whenever I go to my PetSmart, it make me mad
Because the mesh wheels are cheaper.
caitlin read my mind....there a company, whatever saves a buck in there eyes.
Come on live again soon!!🐷
Why don't you open a pet store?
Hammy The Syrian Hamster youve predicted the future
She has one now
Great video like always keep up the great work

Nice video
Where is the new petsmart?
Every time i see those metal wheels i want to scream , If i was in that pet shop id tell them straight what they do. Ive done it before i always complain to pet shops. Lucky in my pet shops they don't sell them or use them

Hello 3rd comment
4th comment yay
Wow early
You shouldn't ship at places like pet co and pet smart because the quality of the animals life is not good there, they abuse their animals for profit just look how they treat their fish, constantly dead ones in tanks, not fed properly dirty water half the time. The way they treat their siameese fighting fish is apauling. I just do that think people should contribute to places like this
deep sea siren not all of them are bad.
Mypetlife no but it's from the same chain so when you contribute to a "good one" it goes back and is distributed to all the "good" and bad. Just type it In on TH-cam pet co or pet smart abuse
Yes, i don't get why there is a shelter a block away from PetCo And they sell animals.
But where do we go then?
You shouldn't buy animals from pet shops. Buying products from there is perfectly fine.
caitlin not really, the whole point of not buying animals from there is so you are not contributing to chains or shops that treat their animals this way, buying products from there is giving them money and encouraging them to carry on. Buying animals from pet shops is okay but not from ones that treat them badly.
I hate petsmart
I don’t encourage PetSmart at all so I sadly can’t encourage this video. Hate the vid sorry 😐!
