Offered to take 5 dying guinea chicks from the trough where they were being trampled to death. One was already deceased and I offered to take it too since it was collecting flies. The person working said they would take care of it, even though it had been dead for a while.

I was initially rung up 5.99 a bird, to which I clarified these birds were dying and I wanted to offer them some peace from being killed by the others. I ended up paying 21$ for them, because at the end of the day this company only cares about profit, and not at all about the sick and dying animals they neglect to care for.

About 3 hours since purchasing, 3 have passed which I knew was inevitable given their condition.

Last year I purchased a bunny with wry neck from a crowded enclosure so I could get it vet care. Thankfully he was adopted and after a round of antibiotics he now lives a happy and healthy life. If I left him there without treatment of the parasite, he would have died along with the other rabbits he came in contact with.

I have also helped the mice there, who often cannot reach the water bottles that are hung. After pushing a dish so that they could stand on it, they drank from it like they hadn’t had access to water in a long time.

Farmside it's owner and the manager Wendy are the most useless, unprofessional, incompetent people my husband and I ever met. The only reason I am forced to purchase anything from them is for my horse feed...and I am changing my feed so I don't have to deal with them at all. 2 weeks waiting for them to have a simple bag of my catfood is uncalled for. They are rude and unhelpful. You can stand at that counter for 10 minutes and noone will look up at you. They will ignore you to answer the phone, eat or talk to each other. How they stay in business is beyond me. The $15.00 dollar an hour rate hike will certainly put them out. I take my business anywhere else I can to avoid spending my hard earned money...

go here only recently bc i just moved… thought they were decent until i noticed their bunnies. 2 bunnies in a cage, one completely tormenting the other.The little bunny was crawling at the cage to get out as it was getting it’s hair pulled out. i informed a worker because there’s an empty cage the bunny can easily be separated into who just said “they are working on it” and followed it with rude attitude. i’ve had bunnies for 10 years i was only trying to help in saying that the 2 baby bunnies would never get along without being properly neutered. overall the store just likes to make a quick buck. they care or don’t know to care ab their animals and is a huge shame to all the critters...
