The staff are always super polite and very helpful when I have any questions or concerns about my pet Hedgehog which I also purchased from them. I have had my pet Hedgehog for almost a year now and he is just as healthy as the day I took him home.Couldn't recommend a better pet store!

Great little pet store. They have a very efficient use of space. We’ve only bought fish, shrimp and snails there. Fun to see all the options of pets. Staff is kind. Pricing is really good here too 😊👍

Acosta's is a great place to shop if you are looking for small pets and exotic pets. I was in there about 4 weeks ago looking at some rabbits. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. Had the cutest selection of small and mid sized rabbits. Makes me want one :) If I ever do get a rabbit, it will be from Acosta's.

Great customer service!! Had lots of questions and Mr. Acosta, he was very patient and gave clear answers. I really enjoyed the experience and I did purchase a new fish tank! I would recommend going to Acosta's for your pet needs!!

This place is not about the well being of your pets it's purely just for sales. Anyone that genuinely cares about their animals will do even the tiniest bit of research and find that the cages and wheels he sells for guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, other small animals are not even safe or the right size. Just because hamsters are small doesn't mean they can comfortable live and thrive in ones of those tiny plastic cages. The wheels have gaps that trap toes and tear off toenails. Seriously this place is a joke and anyone saying otherwise is just ignorant and thinks because it's the only petstore in Hobbs must make it a good place.

Robert knows his stuff. He is by far the best pet store owner in the nation. He can help you with any issue you have. His animals are well taken care of. I use to have 3 Columbian red tails, 2 collared llizards, 4 bearded dragons and an albino king snake and they all came from Acostas. If they got sick he knew what to do. He's a damned good guy.

The guy that runs the place doesn't know anything about animals. I was talking to him about sugar gliders and he said "all sugar gliders have horrible diarrhea because of their diets" which is not true at all. You can easily look that up and see it's false. They also price gouge. 8 dollars for one crawler rat???? No way!!

Family owned and operated. Always courteous and helpful and fast, very knowledgeable on pets of all kinds. Great with aquariums and salt water too. Great selection of everything, bunnies, ferrets, lizards, snakes, spiders, fish sea creatures, birds and setups and decor and supplies. Prices are good and always fair. Clean inside and supports local community works. Special orders available. ALWAYS MY FAVORITE GO TO, WON'T SHOP ANYWHERE ELSE.

Very sad looking saltwater tanks.This store is DEFINITELY geared towards other types of creatures than aquatic ones.

Robert and his family have a delightful little shop full of healthy, happy animals and fish, plus any advice you need to go with anything you decide to take home! I've been shopping here for at least 10 years, if not longer, and have never had a bad experience. If you're starting from scratch or have had tanks for years, this is the place to go for both fresh and saltwater needs. They carry fish, guinea pigs, ferrets, bunnies, reptiles, birds, and even those 8 legged creatures that my child is so fond of, which I fear he is eventually going to want to take home... and if they don't have what you want, they can probably get it for you. I highly recommend them! Parking is easy, prices reasonable, always something on sale, go check them out!

WARNING!!! Talk about price gouging!!!! Came to Hobbs to visit family. We went to this pet supply store. Some of these prices are ridiculous!!! Im not saying give your products away, but don't rob your fellow townfolk. They are taking advantage of this small town. Big pet supply store needed here immediately. At least they wont price gouge. Huge difference in prices.!

Never open and doesn’t have the size of rats needed to feed their own exotic animals to feed expects the customer to feed a ball python 2 to 3 mice which is not healthy for the snakes charges higher rates for a basic ball python which you can get from a breeder at 60.00 and the snake I got from them was malnourished

Robert and Amanda Acosta are great! Place is clean and amazing to visit. They have a wide range of animals (rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, ferrets, ect.), birds, reptiles, and fish to choose from.
