Northwest Seed & Pet

Every time I go to get my crickets for my frogs I am amazed at this store's size selection and friendliness. I love how they take in unwanted and neglected pets and reform them with love from their staff. Pets wander around the store from the tortoise to the bunnies or the dyed chickens and cats. All the cages are clean, although I have seen some kitten get messed up in their cage and wasn't cleaned up immediately and I didn't follow up the next day to see if they got it cleaned up . As far as the other review I saw no piles of poop in the gecko cages, my only problem with those cages is the natural soil sand mix they use for ground cover could be eaten by the lizards and impact their bowls. more

The pet area in this store is filthy and stinky. The animals are improperly cared for and the pet area staff is rude and doesn't care about the health of the animals. I brought multiple issues to the staff's attention regarding 2 Leopard Geckos about two months ago, and they told me they were healthy and getting the proper care. Then about a month ago, after seeing the condition of the geckos only worsen, I spoke to them again and got the same response. I even spoke with the store manager and owner (Robert Mauk) and still nothing was done to help these poor animals. These geckos had hardly any water and the water they did have was clearly old and dirty. The floor of their cage was covered in poop, so clearly the cage had not been cleaned in over a month. (Leopard Geckos only poop about once per day). The only food these geckos had were a few meal worms crawling around in the gecko poop (This is what causes parasites/diseases because the worms eat the poop and then the geckos eat the worms). Also, the geckos had no shelter whatsoever. Leopard Geckos need a dark cave like shelter where they can sleep during the day because they are nocturnal. The male gecko was the thinnest and had a divot down his whole entire back. After not being able to stand it anymore, I made my VERY LAST purchase here and bought these geckos. I took the sickest gecko (the male with the divot down his back) the very next day to the vet and the veterinarian agreed 100% with me that these animals were not cared for properly and were underweight. They also had parasites (pinworms) at a level 3 (on a scale of 1-4). Cons: animals are not properly cared for more
