Feeders Pet Supply

"After years of being a loyal customer to this Feeders Pet Supply, I will no longer return for ANY purchase. I was visiting today to purchase food for our rodents and I was appalled and disgusted to see they have started stocking painted glass fish. These fish are artificially colored. They are NOT like glofish which are born with their color. No, these painted glass fish are injected/tattooed with a needle to get the colors you see. This is done with NO sedation or pain relief. Furthermore, even if you don’t care about the abuse and pain inflected upon these poor creatures, they lose that color after a few weeks. Not even the bigger chains in town NOR the more successful specialty shops in bigger cities surrounding carry these fish. You may say, who cares? It’s just a fish, right? You’re right, it may be just a fish, but this is an animal bred and created for the purpose of being a PET. It deserves no mistreatment such as this. I am sure Feeders is simply trying to keep up with the ever competitive pet market in Hardin co seeing as we now have 4 total pet stores. This is not the way. My business is finally going elsewhere. Edit: well here I am 2 weeks later. I decided to give Feeders one more chance after their reply to my review. They have now started stocking axolotls WAY smaller than is recommended for purchase (under 3 inches.) For another $10 you can get a WELL BRED axolotl at appropriate age and size from a breeder. This is absolutely awful and I’m done. I spend about $250 a month on food and supplies for all our pets but I’m not spending that here any longer. I know I’m just one person and just one source of $ but I hope the owners and management can change their ways. For a few years this store had amazing care of their animals, and now that someone else is over the fish and reptiles, it’s gone WAY downhill. My heart is broken. This used to be the best pet store in town but now they’re one level up from a puppy mill but for fish and reptiles. :("

"I’ve had my issues with feeders here and there but truthfully I thought I’d share another review after not getting any fish for awhile. Here are some pictures of some I’ve had from feeders. Some are a year old and some are 8/10 months. You can get nice 2-3 inch peacocks the day they come in and you can order some which is awesome. Some fish do thrive and others I’ve gotten that were colorful the day I bought them tend to loose color. Idk if where they get them use hormones or if they just become less dominant and loose all color. All said in done I think if you’re lucky you can get some nice looking fish."

"The fish tanks were extremely dirty with some dead fish and many diseased fish. Ick was visibly present on many of the fish. The stock of accessories for fish keeping was very poor. The employees (during my 2 visits) were young kids who didn't know much about any of the products, including the non-fish areas. I was able to get everything I wanted at PetSmart across the road and Pet Supplies Plus. Update - 3 weeks later with photo of very sick fish from same store. They really should stop carrying fish if they cannot take care of them."

"Great service with a military discount on purchases. The staff know their products and can help you choose the product that is right for your pet. I love this place. My dog likes it, too."
