Meanwhile a line was building at the register, so the manager slammed her door before coming back out on the phone, and continuing to be unhelpful. Finally Madison shows up and starts helping customers. She checked me out and hands me a receipt, but doesn't even bother to bag my items or hand them to me. Just a receipt and "have a good one" like seriously? I understand it's a crappy job but you can do the bare minimum of ringing up customers and bagging their items. This place has really gone downhill and I'd be better off going to Amazon and getting broken reptile bulbs than this.

As he had a 70g fresh water & 30g saltwater (5 ) he would spend every penny he had & beg us to take him weekly He recently took his 3yr clown fish in hopes to sell it back - as he has done with a few of his other previously purchased fish from BF. The young person offered him $5 he bought the fish for $8 and it's tripled in size.. hands down bigger than any clown fish in the store (1 ) He told them that was insulting - as would I & asked to speak to the mgr - the kid said, I am & all I'm giving you is $5 (1 ) Needless to say, Nemo was happily donated to our family chiropractor. It isn't about money, it's about principle & doing what's right. Shame on you, kid behind the counter Monday afternoon 3/14/22 at BFA. We'll gladly spend our money elsewhere

I went here for all of my live rats/mice, fish, and rabbit supplies for 8/9 months, loved the place…read moreminus the workers who are rude or uneducated, I live 40 minutes away. Mostly every weekend I would get live mice/rats, however I noticed something weird about a rat I had purchased, thought it was just a spot but come to find out their rats have fleas. It was a MASSIVE flea, which it takes time for a flea to get big. I knew at that moment this is why I have been battling fleas with my three cats for around 8 months because I had never in my life of owning cats have had that issue. Also probably why my ball python who never rejects has been rejecting. Told shop owner about fleas, they said they don't have fleas and all they could do was give me another rat, ( that probably had fleas too ) or my money back for the rat. I was more concerned of the fact Iv spent hundreds of dollars trying to help my poor cats stop itching. Plus my hungry/annoyed ball python. Stop going there all together. I now go straight through a reputable rat/mouse breeder, they are always healthy, plump, and are treated for fleas. Soon after I switched I was able to get rid of the fleas, my ball python is eating again, and I get rats/mice for a quarter of the price. Win win after all of the stress I guess.

Hundreds of alligators. And you know what...you can buy some Gator food and throw it to them! Ever see a group of alligators go after a fish nugget? I have. Amazing! The staff are great and care about what they do. It's not a zoo. It's a sanctuary. They've got gators from baby up to Godzilla. The staff really care about these rescued animals and want you to know about them, too. I got to hold a big turtle. Feed some gators. And I saw a frog jump into a gator mouth. Amazing. Go check out the gators and have your mind blown!

The manager pointed out the most expensive freshwater small (for now) fish, an electric blue jack Dempsy ($35) and said it was a great starter fish, that it's fine in a 20-gallon tall tank, and would be great partners with a school of glo-tetras. Well as expected they killed him not a day later. Turns out this fish is aggressive and gets up to 8 inches which needs a MUCH bigger tank. Returning fish is sketchy at best here. You need to bring in water and the dead fish, which I understand. They then take it back behind the tanks to run the tests, so who knows what is being said in regards to how your water is testing. I wouldn't trust if the blonde guy would do it because he's said such untrue info on fish to me before. If you try to contest or argue that you want to see it they say they cant bring it out. This has happened several times, to the point where I'm done. Which is a shame. They have a decent collection of fish there, and the GM Doug is super nice. Sadly I'm pretty sure he is one of two nice people there. The rest just don't seem to care.
