We sell tons of mice as pets at $7 so that is not going to stop people who want pets.Originally Posted by shelliebear
but what about people where there isn't another store?
I think the high price Petsmart charges is good enough for protecting mice from being "snake food". For 7.00$ most of them will become pets. I think ultimately, in the long run, none of them will be bought at all, though, since they are charging a lot for a mouse. :/
Besides, what about snakes that won't take F/T? 2 of mine do. 2 won't. I'd happily feed F/T to all of them, but these two are stubborn and will NOT eat it. Not even after a live one
I wonder if they (Petsmart) worry as much about their snakes becoming pets as they do mice. Or their fish...or birds...
It is not Petsmart's fault you cannot get live feeders for your snakes. They don't want to see live, and they should not be boycotted because they don't. Lets say I breed and sell snakes. I also sell and breed mice for the sole purpose of being a feeder. Someone comes up and wants to purchase one as a pet, but I only want to see them as feeders. That is my right to refuse to sell said mice as pets. They should not be held responsible for making sure your snakes are fed.
And yes, we care a lot about our snakes, birds, small animals, fish, etc. Heck, we have a small little corn snake that won't eat. I hand feed him several times a week because otherwise, he would die. This isn't Petsmarts fault he won't eat. Some hatchlings are just like that. I have one at home that won't eat on his own either.
