Bought a guinea pigs hutch and run combo, very happy with the service, the hutch was put in my car for me without even asking for help. The wood quality is very good, the instructions easy to follow and we are extremely happy with the fully built hutch. A good size for 2 guinea pigs

Response from Paradise Pets | Wiltshire

Thank you Melanie Latus Nice to provide services to you.

It’s the best pet shop in and around Swindon. They always have an amazing selection of birds and all you need to keep them happy. I keep birds myself and the guys there are happy to answer questions and really know their stuff. I have seen budgies etc. in chain pet shops in the area looking really unhealthy and ill – I wouldn’t go anywhere else than Paradise Pets for animals.

I could not praise this shop enough. Really helped my Grandson buy his first bird and he’s loving it. Travelled from Somerset and was welcomed with open arms.
