For Every Kind of Apartment Pet

PETQUA 2604 Broadway; 212-865-7500; petqua.com

SHOPPERS ENTERING Petqua, a 20-year-old UWS pet shop, are greeted by the resident parrot, Panama. In back, they'll find George the tortoise eating mixed greens. In between, "it has the most extensive variety of things," says animal trainer Lydia DesRoche, owner of a parrot, Guillermo; a dog, Grace; and three bunnies, Asaka, Ti Moune, and Armand. In addition to the usual supplies, Petqua stocks crickets and roaches to feed geckos, cages for parakeets, hay for rabbits, and aquariums filled with red-eyed tree frogs and royal pleco fish. And in the rare case its shelves come up short, Sam and Ed, who run the store, step in. "Whenever I've said, 'Oh, I'd like to try this, they'll order it," DesRoche says. "Like when the Nina Ottosson dog puzzles came out, they were like, 'Oh, we'll get them.' Whatever I want them to get, they get."
