In August I adopted two female Guinea pigs for my daughter from the Petsmart in Morrisville NC. It was stressed to us that they only sell females and they don’t have males in their store. I trusted what was said to me. One of our GPs began putting on a lot of weight around her abdominal area. Because we had two females I thought she was just greedy. No way she’s pregnant. It know a couple months later. Tonight my daughter said mom I’m worried, she’s really big, I went to pick her up and I felt movement in her belly area, a lot of movement. I immediately took them both to the closest Petsmart because the vet offices was closed tonight. When we got to Petsmart the person at the store said yes she’s definitely pregnant, she looked at the genitals of the other GP and said this is definitely a boy. I called the Petsmart location we adopted the GPs from and spoke to Chase. Not only was he rude but he was very defensive and said you had 14 days, we wouldn’t have sold you a male guinea pig. I’d say the 14 day rule shouldn’t even be a factor in this case and she’s pregnant so. Bottom line is we were told we were adopting two FEMALE guinea pigs and now have a male and female. We can only keep one of them because two is more than enough for our family. I can’t believe Chase had the audacity to be that rude and defensive, they were the ones who lied! Whether intentional or not, they didn’t check to make sure they had girls, but told us they’d checked! He continued to be rude and defensive so I asked for his name and got off the phone him. The women at the other location that we took the GPs to be checked was so nice and even said keep me updated on how the mom’s doing. She wasn’t a vet and didn’t give up medical advice but she was at least kind and showed some empathy with our situation. This is so messed up. I will NEVER adopt another pet from Petsmart. I can’t trust that they will be honest about there pets or honor what they say. Everyone makes mistakes, but when you do, don’t mistreat the customer if you’re in the wrong, own up to it. I can except a mistake, what I can’t accept being treated like crap. His behavior was unprofessional and unacceptable.
