Nope, that IS corporate policy. Every single bird, reptile, or rodent sold has to have a contract signed with it by someone over 18. That way, they "know that the animal will be a pet and not food or a sacrifice"... sigh. They make the person include address and phone number to have a way of checking up on things...but they never do it. Not even the times I've seen people bring the dead animal back for a refund (14 day guarantee) and it looked rather suspicious did they call up. Like most other things with those companies, Petsmart particularly, the 'rules' are just something that must be done even though they don't understand why.

Yup that is true everything but hermits need the little contract things. Personally i think its stupid. But eh, its the rules gotta do it I guess even if they are feeding it off to something. I can always tell when its a snake person lookin for food, thats when I reccomend my good friends reptile shop where he has feeders 1/3 the price of PetSmart lol

Heck yeah! I could always tell the snake owners as well :) And I always recommended the store just a few blocks away that sells jumbo adult mice for $1.90 each and has a card system that allows you to buy, say, $20 worth and just have them taken off the card when you come in later. That's where I get my feeders...down with Petsmart! I only continue to get supplies from them because they are close, and because the manager gives me her discount. :)

my petco sells the pet mice and rats as feeders i mean we have more people coming in to feed snakes then to buy rats as pets so my store doesn't make people fill out the 15 day garantee unless it is for an actual pet

my petsmart has mice starting at 6.99 a piece. WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!!! :O:colbert:

My petco, knowingly, sells most of their rats off as feeders and there never is paper work for the rats or mice.

However, at about 4.99 for a small rat, 6.99 for a medium, and 9.99 for a large its not worth going down there when you can breed your own!

That's because they're pet quality and it's to deter people from using them as feeders. A local chain of family owned petstores (There's seven stores total. I really wish they'd go national. I've never had any problems with any of their stores) sell mice for about $1.25. That's straight across for feeders, breeders, and pets. They're kept in the back and the employee goes back and picks out the mice for you. About two weeks ago, I requested 'two females with some color on them if possible'. I ended up with a black banded and a gold. Both were and still are healthy.

I recently bought from petco my mice & rats 'cause I didn't had any other option...there were no pet shops near by...the nearest one was like 15 miles away...& petco was just around my house...but I just moved & have a local pet shop that breeds their own mice & rats & I get my mice for $0.50 each & rats $1.99 any size good price...huh...

I don't get why they dont allow mice as feeders. They are a freaking business that is determined to get money, it doesn't add up. They allow goldfish as feeders...:confused:
