Small Animals at the Big Pet Store

At The Big Pet Store, we are passionate about the welfare of small animals and believe every pet deserves the very best care.


Our Adopt Don’t Shop Policy


We are proud to follow an Adopt Don’t Shop policy. For this reason, we do not sell small animals in-store. Rescue centres across the country are already full of wonderful animals waiting for loving forever homes, and we believe adoption is the most responsible choice for anyone looking to welcome a new companion.


We are pleased to support and recommend the following rescue organisations:

  • Fat Fluffs Rabbit Rescue
  • Coseley Guinea Pig Rescue


We also follow recognised welfare guidance for rabbit care from the Rabbit Welfare Association & Fund to help ensure the highest standards of advice and support for owners.

Everything You Need for Small Animal Care

While we do not sell animals, we proudly stock a wide range of high-quality supplies for all small pets.


We offer food for all small animals, with an extensive range for:

  • Rabbits
  • Guinea Pigs
  • Hamsters
  • Gerbils
  • Rats
  • Chinchillas 


We also stock a wide variety of natural treats, alongside fresh hay, straw, and shavings, all delivered weekly from our trusted Warwickshire farm supplier to ensure quality and freshness.

Welfare-Focused Housing & Accessories

Animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do. We offer larger hamster cages that meet the recommendations set out by the RSPCA, helping owners provide more suitable and enriching environments for their pets.


As part of our commitment to responsible pet care, we have also made the decision to no longer sell hamster balls or small exercise wheels due to the potential health and welfare implications associated with their use.


Our aim is to promote products that support the long-term wellbeing, comfort, and happiness of every small animal.

Expert Advice You Can Trust

Whether you are adopting your first rabbit or caring for a much-loved hamster, our knowledgeable team is always here to offer practical advice and guidance on feeding, housing, enrichment, and general care.


At The Big Pet Store, we believe responsible ownership starts with education, compassion, and putting animal welfare first.
