How much would it cost to buy a parakeet and all supplies needed to get it started on average?

Bobby asked:


I’ve had a few pet birds in my past when I was a kid. And now I am just curious to know how much it would be to buy a parakeet or two plus a cage and toys and what not. I am just looking to see if it is a reasonable price and that if it is worth it. I just remember them being very simple. And that’s what I liked about them.
Thanks!

What’s the skinny on using people-aspirin (ie: enteric-coated low-dose) on dogs with arthritis?

My Boston Terrier is 13+ and gets stiff in his back legs after he’s been sitting for a while. I’ve looked in pet-supply places, and doggy pain relievers are SO expensive!

We work in a pet supply store and our store pet got loose when we opened the door to give her fresh millet and now we can’t find her anywhere. She’s very untame and she’s probly very scared. We already tried putting millet in various places. Our store is very small and we only have one door which one of us has been constantly watching. What can we do to coax her out of hiding?

My boyfriend works at a pet store, Pets Barn, they claim they are discount pet supplies but they cost just as much as Petco or Petsmart or any of the other big petstore chains. Anyways, their back wall small animals, birds & reptiles, basically, there is a big problem in my eyes & any other animal lovers that go in and see it. I don’t know the dimensions of the cages but the rabbits, there is always atleast 6 of them & all the way up to 10 of them!
The cage is WAY smaller then;

I never said much becuase they were sold quickly but then more were bought as soon as a few were sold. Along with the over-crowded rabbit cage (Which only has a food bowl and some hay….no chew toys, home, tubes, anything), there is always, i don’ tknow, 15 mice to every 1 wheel so they are always fighting over it and getting their legs stuck in the spokes
So, what is everyone’s opinion on what I should do? I’ve talked to my boyfriend about it and he does what he can (sneaks in toys, extra wheels, snacks/treats) but they are always taken out. It’s now been 2 months with 9 rabbits including 2 full grown lop ears and 7 growing bunnies and no one has bought any and as a mommy to 2 rabbits I know how much room they need and how they turn out if they aren’t in good conditions for a long period of time. What should I do? Take pictures and send them to tthe BBB? Report them to who? help! I feel so bad, I even asked the manager if I could buy a big cage and take like 5 of them out and put them in it but he told me not to worry about it.
I already stopped shopping there, I go to visit my boyfriend and handle the animals becuase they are NEVER let out of the cage or picked up or played with or anything.
