No we don't stock the "normal" dog/cat pet products. There are 2 other pet stores that deal in that area. We do reptiles and parrot supplies. Yeah I know what you mean about spending the profits on the pets. lol I ordered, and took a few home for my birdies

, foraging toys. I was all set for "hours of fun and enjoyment for your parrot" toy playing when I gave one of the Lutinos a foraging toy. I let them watch me put the treat in then gave it to them. Before I had time to shut the cage door, one of the ringies has figured out how to get the treat! So much for the 'hours of fun" lol
We have not had any reps come through yet, but yeah, would be fine.
Shane runs the shop for most of the day. I have a part time job doing a bread run in the morning and arvo for woollies and coles here. Only a few hours/day but it helps puts food on the table while Shane spends it in the shop lol Business has been slow but we were expecting for it to take awhile to get up and running properly. Doesn't help when we get broken into either.
About 2 weeks ago, some person/s smashed a window and kicked in the wire grill to gain entry. They jumped on the bird products shelving and knocked it all down and smashing a cage in the process. They went straight for the till, which had no money in it, then stole the most expensive guitar in the shop, before leaving. We were lucky that was all they took and didn't ransack the place. So we lost 1 guitar, 1 cage, 2 days of closure waiting for the cops to do their thing etc. But it could have been worse. Also we are not insured yet.

Just a bit of a kick in the teeth when struggling from scratch to get a shop started to have this happen. So then we had to spend even more money on replacing the wire grill with jail type window bars and a surveillance system installed.
