This 🙏👌

After we had an exact example of this first thing this morning of a teenager walking through hitting our tanks *hard* - we second FFF&F - please keep an eye on your kids and common sense should surely prevail.

There is a "Conditions of entry" sign posted clearly as you walk in. We ask you follow these for your safety and our livestocks - they are quite literally our livelihood.

If not? Like the young guy this morning - your kids will be asked to wait outside if they cannot keep their hands to themselves 🙏😁

See you all in store 😁

Now that school holidays are here, here’s some things to remember if you’re planning to bring the kids in for a look at our animals:
• we are a service based business, we will serve you so please be courteous to our amazing staff, they are genuinely trying to assist and educate. If you don’t like being spoken to, we’re not your store 🤗

•we don’t offer tours, that’s what you pay admission for at an actual zoo (there’s great ones near by, buy a ticket and help the local economy)

•we care for our animals and believe they are entitled to their peace and quiet, 🤫🤫so NO banging on the glass, NO screaming in the store. This frightens them and can cause them to react.

So Parents, 🙏please supervise your children when they are in our store, that means, keeping an eye on them, knowing where they are at all times and encouraging quiet enjoyment of the animals.
I wish I didn’t have to post this but sadly it is ever increasingly necessary 😫😢
Hope you enjoy the winter weather and hope to see you in store soon. The team

FUN FACT.

We do have security cameras in store. Suprise! Although, they aren't well hidden so it's likely not a surprise. We mainly do it for if we have a break in of a night - we know our customers would never do anything wrong by us. Y'all are amazing. Truly. How are we so lucky?

But. This last Saturday (30th) a lovely young couple in a beautiful white top with a blue floral pattern dropped in store. The Mr has accidentally grabbed one of our little creations (see photo attached - in this corner). And the silly fella has walked right out with it. Woops!

Mistakes happen. We get it. I really doubt you meant to steal it - who'd do such a thing to a small, family owned business?

Look, we're all doing it tough. So, if you did nick it - I don't blame you. They're pretty friggin cool. And the overall wholesale value isn't alot. BUT. Our time spent on them is not little. Neither is the basic understanding of general deceny, the law or the ability to press charges for anything intentionally or unintentionally taken.

So, a few options for you and blue floral top girl.

1) Bring it back if it was a mistake (benefit of the doubt here!)
2) Give us a message to chat about payment (even if it's wholesale in the event you are doing it tough - joking nature of this post aside I really do empathise with this, although it really isn't an excuse and I'm sure you know this)
3) And this one I really, really don't want to do because at your age - stupid s**t happens. And I don't want to ruin your reputation off a $30 terrarium. But I will post two different videos of you in our store and of you walking out with something you haven't paid for.

Thanks folks and thankyou to everyone who does come in that supports us, loves us and pays for their items - we see you, we appreciate you and as many of you know - we do match, discount, bulk discount and do anything we can for those that give support to us - we do the same back where we can. Hell, goto the op shop next door and get a glass vessel - we'll help you set one up! 😁

But don't take something you've not paid for. It's not cool. Oh and if anyone wants to share this to other groups etc - please don't hesitate.
