Pets in Romania

There are lots of pet shops here, owning dogs is very popular here, so they are very well catered for, as are cats.

There is a pet shop in my local market and they sell small rodents such as Hamsters, i think i have even seen pet rats in there, but i cant remember very well. I am sure you could find a suitable cage here in Bucharest, i dont know if owning pet rats is that popular here, i dont know anyone who does have one, but there must be some people who do.

My next door neighbour runs a market stall dealing in pet suppies and the odd pet, we bought a bird from him and all the cage and trimmings, only for the bird to then ecape one weekend and fly right out the window! not seen it since.

Also i would imagine its very easy to own pets in rented accomodation, i cant offer any advise for shipping your pets here though as i have no experience of that.

Thank you so much for your reply. I am very grateful. Could you tell me the name of the district/ road the pet shop is on? Just in case I cannot find one when I arrive.
I am still looking for shipping/ courier...so far all of the quotes have been above 850 Euros!!
