You mean they didn't know a hat from a ramster??
That could cause a bit of difficulty from time to time!
Mind you, Mike Harding got into worse difficulties with a pet shop from all accounts (google Mike Harding - the 14lb budgie.)
Seriously though, imagine if people bought frozen hamsters and the snakes got addicted to those, and wouldn't go back on to rats ...Don't blame you for changing shops. |

Do you think that it was that they didn't know the difference??? 0_0
And... a budgie??? That's just daft : / Can Royals even digest the feathers properly? I know some snakes can, but I wouldn't feel happy feeding anything feathered to a Royal.
...Actually, I didn't even know you could buy budgies for snakes!
Yes, as BATS said, don't blame you ! |
Just me and my zoo. |

A lot of the larger frozen food suppliers will supply multis, gerbils, hamster and guinea pigs as well as the usual mice, rat, chicks and rabbits, obviously this shop had clients that had snakes or reps eating hamsters, no biggie. |

| Yeah my local shop has mice and rats available on demand but you can preorder in guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, chicks & lizards. I'm guessing it was just a mistake, I would have thought the lack of a long tail would have made it quite obvious it was a hammy but it would have done no harm to your snake. |
