Creature consultation
Have a new pet?! Unsure how to care for it?!? Have so many questions, that you’re unable to find which direction to lead? With this service, have your questions answered with a specialist or be educated in any information that may be vital or missing!
Why this may be important! I often run into new pet turtle parents and their setups months down the line when they are seeking help for their first aquarium maintenance task. During this visit, under educated pet parents often use LEDs or Tank Kit Bulbs, which are often inappropriate for longterm pet health. Turtles need specific spectrum bulbs, UVA and UVB to build healthy shells and to uptake certain nutrients. Without their consultation, their turtle could form a deformed shell, lose weight, or at worst pass away due to insufficient met needs. Schedule a consultation today to be sure that all aspects of creature care are considered.
