My girlfriend bought me a hamster I had recently seen from here as a gift. When see went to buy the hamster she noticed its eye was sore and shut. The member of staff on duty said that no one had bought her because of it, and that the staff had been spraying her eye with antiseptic spray. On the way home my gf noticed what she thought at first we're fleas all over the hamster, which on later inspection we realised were mites. Next day took her to the vets to have her check out, needless to say the vets were not impressed with her neglect and even said we should send the vet bills to the store for them to pay. She was infested with mites and has sores all over her body, and has a bad cause of conjunctivitis, both which we are treating her for. Vet also said the antiseptic they were spraying on her eye could have caused more damage but we won't know until it's healed. At least she's being looked after now.
