It is best to either contact the customer services or ask the manager of any pet shop where they source their animals. They should give you a truthful answer. If they don't then perhaps that is not the store to buy your pet.

I'm sure I read that they were stocked by Simon's Rodents (not good), but I'm not sure if that is all of the P@H, or just some. We have two P@H in Reading, the big one is god awful, very bad. The smaller one near me is considerably better with regards to both normal stock (less variety, but they send it back if it is broken, rather than trying to get full price for it like they do in the big shop - they were selling those hay tunnels, all smashed to dust, for full price, ridiculous!) and living stock which seem to be healthy and well taken care of (plenty of food/water/enrichment specific to the species)

I think my local pets@home must have changed supplier or their supplier must not have much available, before we use to have all different colours and patterns in our local store, now literally all they have there week after week is whites.

Mandy was from a non chain pet shop. I was told they get them from a local breeder. Which fair enough it is actually local. Just that it happens to be Simons Rodents

She is just under two years old has two cloudy eyes so little if no sight left & a life long behaviour problem skin must be put in her mouth, my skin

I have also got two pure WW's from Tufftyfluff which are brilliant, great personalitys never bitten me & love cuddles. Both will be two years old in April & so far no signs of old age/health problems
