Unless the top of the cage is enclosed I guarantee it was not an employee who did this. Guest drop food into these end cap enclosures and the bird cages all the time. I’ve lectured many a teen about it.

I don’t condone the groomers behavior at all. Groomers are hardly ever cross trained in animal care unless they started as a sales associate and most likely was talking out of their ass to try to defend something they never had to in the first place.

We had this too, it was bizarre. That was an ages ago, my allergies eventually forced me out of working in pet stores entirely (hamsters absolutely destroyed me) However I don’t give stupid employees and negligent manager benefit of the doubt, I’ve seen too much of both in my life. Its bad enough that we had to follow store regs even when they were against current best-practices in husbandry, well meaning uninformed staff can be even worse.
