| - Actually, this place falls between a 3 and 4 depending on the visit.
Along with normal pet supplies, you can also adopt dogs, ducks, various caged birds, bunnies, chinchillas, pea fowl (yes, I did say it), turkeys, quail, roosters, pot bellied pigs, goats, fancy pigeons....and on and on....
If you're an animal lover like me, you get mixed feelings going into a store that has pets in cages and boxes. Pratt's is much better at the showing of animals, big dogs aren't stuffed into kennels meant for teacup chihuahuas, and save for one visit when I saw a parrot picking himself naked, the animals look healthy and happy.
If you don't mind the possibility of getting pooped or peed on, you can pick up and pet the silky soft rabbits and the cute little baby ducks.
In the back, you can see a white peahen and a couple of multicolored peacocks.
Prices are slightly more expensive than say Petsmart, but it's a locally owned small store with lots of animals you can play with.
I hate to admit it but I've never bought anything. I just go there to get my fuzzy animal need out of the system. They probably see me come in now and think "there goes that crazy girl again making a beeline for the ducks..."
The staff is really friendly and don't mind your grubby hands all over their animals. They currently have a little boxer puppy for sale who seems to like squashing his face all over the glass and making funny faces at you.
Almost tempted....but I don't think my cats would appreciate it.
