This was my regular place to buy frozen ex-breeder rats for my snakes. They always made sure they were in stock for me. They also have a range of animal toys and food, and sell fish and birds.

Nice people and pretty good prices.

We bought a hand reared parrot from here a couple of years ago, and the service we received was excellent. We were able to visit our baby before he was old enough to come home, and we were given really good nutrition advice.

They also stock a pretty good variety of fish, pet food and flea treatments etc, reptile food, and chook pellets.

The big drawcard is the GORGEOUS cockatoo who lives there and talks to you. Kids love him but he can be snappy. lol

Notwithstanding it's rather colourful name, this store is a regular pet shop, albeit one of the more superior of them. Located in a central corner position of Victoria Point Shopping Centre, this store is easily accessible and has good parking. There are three or four 10 minute parking bays almost at the shop's door, which is very handy for a quick visit or when purchasing something particularly heavy.

Exotiques & Birds of Paradise usually have a good selection of small animals for sale including mice, guinea pigs and fish. Although they sell puppies and kittens I personally have philosophical objections to the sale of them by pet stores. Google "Oscar's Law" for details.

They also sell a very good variety of pet accessories, runs and cages. I bought a very large guinea pig house from them at a very nicely discounted price. The staff even held it for me for several days without a deposit. Upon purchase, the store owner was most helpful and assisted in both partly dismantling it, so it could fit into my car, and also carrying and loading it into the car. This personal service is something frequently lacking in the retail industry these days.

Approximate cost: $100.00
