Just Fish 52 Fox Hunt Drive, Bear, DE 19701

"Shut this place down!! Their fish is an issue in and of itself, but i want to talk about the abusive environment the ferrets are kept in. One cage has a wire bottom, and can cause serious health issues for the ferrets, half of the cage is plastic but they still should not have access to the wire bottom, most owners use fleece cage liners. These cages have no access to water dishes, the bottles can hurt their teeth. The brand of pet food they are feeding is not a suitable diet. The second cage gives the ferrets less than one square foot of room, they sleep and eat right next to where they defecate. Ferrets are supposed to be out of the cage 6 hours a day, these guys are never out, and unlike pet co, where the ferrets move in and out quickly, they stay in these cages for over 6 months at a time, who knows when they are let out. They stay in the store overnight of course. Please call the local health department and file a report if you want to help do something about this place. The rest of the animals conditions are a whole other story. Edit: some things were changed and the owner has replied, but not commented on the size of the second cage, or the lack of enrichment/bedding, and says that half the cage is not wire, still not good for their feets. They have also not spoken on the fact that these ferrets stay in the cages, and are not moved out as fast as chain pet store ferrets, so they stay in those cages for extended periods of time. Also you cant comment on the owners reply to the reviews you leave."

"I don’t know about anyone else but I first started going to just fish when I set up my first saltwater tank in 1997. Due to just Life happening I stepped out of the hobby and after 15 years or so now in October of 2023 I’m back in and it was my first stop.i asked questions just to confirm a few things and all my questions were answered and I was set. I’ve always felt comfortable after their advice then I continue with my set up’s. Look it’s no flashy place but one thing I’ll always appreciate is the fact that it’s a true mom & pop shop and the knowledge I’ve gotten from this store has been amazing and something you won’t get at a big box store no matter how flashy and shiny those may look there’s no mom & pop advice there. Last I’ll add that due to the fact that it is a true mom & pop shop this means that just like any other place in todays time not only can you not trust many people but this younger generation doesn’t want to work and I’m sure a lot of you can relate to the same thing instead of trashing this place try and maybe offer some constructive advice and I’m sure they would actually appreciate it just saying …"

"This place is foul. They take very poor care of their animals and I’ve witnessed it more than a few times. They keep their rats in a bin similar to what you would put Christmas decorations in, with very little air quality and the fish tanks smell horrid. Unfortunately, they have more than just fish and I don’t know how. I do not recommend this place, based off of experience."

"They had their rabbits crammed in a very small aquarium. Likely 8 or 9 rabbits in an enclosure suitable for 1 or 2. The ferrets were at least four in a hammock. I did not even go in because I was so horrified. Do better."

"Do better guys, I know you have been around a while but I just can’t buy from here anymore. Tanks are yellow and dirty, I would not take advise from anyone selling fish in these conditions, not expose my healthy fish to these fish as well."
