Today was my first day at Petsmart. I started the day off super early and at work at 6:45 this morning....it began with watching videos for an hour and a half about helping customers choose different items from the store, or the services Petsmart offers.
Then I helped clean the bird cages and refill food and water after washing the bowls/perches for them. Then my trainer showed me the rooms where we keep all the supplies/animals off exhibit...followed by cleaning the cat area and letting them run around a little. We then moved 2 guinea pigs off exhibit and traded them out for a litter of 6 in the back. So I got a chance to clean their cages and hold them.
After we finished all that we went to feed the wall of fish....I never realized how many fish food types there are. I fed goldfish flakes, koi pellets, tropical fish flakes, shrimp pellets for catfish and the crabs, and algae rounds for bottom dwelling fish and snails. This took like 45 minutes....because for each tank you have to feed them 3 times to see if they are full and if not then you put bloodworms in the tank for them to eat. And people kept coming to get fish so we kept stopping and helping people.
My trainer also showed me the reptiles and the other small mammals. All of this happened before lunch and then I took lunch....after that my trainer told me how to feed/change out the water of the bettas....also did not realize how many there were. Male and female bettas, crowntail bettas, halfmoon bettas, and another type I cant remember....all in all I changed around 74 bettas....it took the rest of the day for me to do.
At 3 I finished work and found out my schedule for the rest of the week. Sorry no picture of my lovely outfit.....I just didnt feel like taking a picture today......lazy I know.
