Mini-Critters

Reviews

I have honestly had nothing but great experiences every time I’ve gone into Mini-Critters on 49th Street. The employees are always very helpful and seem knowledgeable on the products when I’ve asked for food advice. I’ve boarded my dog there several times and she always comes home happy and healthy. I’ve seen lots of negative reviews for this company and what I know is that you really need to experience a place for yourself before deciding what’s best for you and your pet. I have seen no signs of abuse and would take people’s opinions with a grain of salt. Decide for yourself and don’t get scared away by a few bad reviews… some left by people who have never even been in the store. Thanks for always taking such good care of my girl!

mini critters is the only place I go to buy supplies for my reptiles. the staff has always been incredibly kind and welcoming every time I come in. the 49th st location is where I got my leopard gecko a few months ago, and Minnesota Ave location is where I got my sweet cat almost a year ago. could not recommend mini critters more!

I like this store for the products it has on hand, but I have some concerns. The cashiers I have worked with feel like they just want you to finish the transaction and leave. The items have clearly marked green stickers with the price, but when I brought my item up to the register to purchase it was $4 more than marked. I expressed concern about the accuracy of that price, but they just looked at the register screen and said that was how much it was. I like browsing product and knowing how much it is going to be before taking it to the register, so it makes me wary of purchasing here knowing the price tags are not accurate. I am also worried about the health of their aquarium livestock. After purchasing a few neocaridina shrimp here, I later went back into Mini-Critters to see how their old tankmates were doing and to consider getting more. There were many dead shrimp and lots of those dead shrimp had cladogonium (green fungus), which is deadly if left untreated. I definitely lucked out and those ones I had purchased did not carry the green fungus. Probably will not purchase pets here again, as I think parasites are a big problem in livestock. They have a great variety of animals, but I worry their supplier doesn't quarantine or properly care for their critters. In summary, great selection but be cautious about accurate prices of product and health of animals.

I bought a beautiful ball python from them today. The little guy was definitely well cared for and very healthy. The staff member that helped me get all of the stuff I needed was amazingly helpful. What a great place to shop for new and existing pets. Thank you.
