let's hear your stupid pet shop quotes

I think one of my faves is going back a few years before I thought about going to rescues. I asked our local pet shop if he had guinea pigs, and he said 'no, its not breeding season'!
 
'rabbits cant eat grass' (from a pet shop/garden centre who was head of the pet area and I know for a fact had been there at least 10 years).
 
"Rats can mate at 12 weeks, they're fine to be in together." Yet the bucks had their fully ripe nads..

(For the non rat savvy, 5 - 6 weeks is the age you seperate)
 
"No, rabbits don't need hay.. you can feed them straw, it's exactly the same"

"You should feed your rabbits guinea pig food, its more nutritious"

:roll:
 
Not a pet shop but someone who builds rabbit runs. When I asked for a quote for a 8 x 6 run he said 'rabbits dont need that much space'! Oddly enough he didnt get my custom! x
