I went to a local self owned pet store yesterday. They take pretty good care of their reptiles and arachnids. Fish are soso. But anyways they had the saddest little 2011 bumblebee male there. He was on the dark bottom shelf in a exo terra 18x18x18 with a $700 price tag. But what made me really sad is how bad this little guys wobble was.
It was straight up close to making me a big man cry in the middle of the pet store haha. He was just sitting at the front of the tank. Whipping his head back and forth and twisting it up side down and right side up and side to side. Smashing it off the glass and the ground. It was so terribly sad. It was really bad and he couldnt stop it at all. I wanted to open the cage and just run out the store with him.
I wish I could have got some video. I dont agree with putting animals down because they have a disability but this guy was an absolute mess that kept smashing his head of the glass and couldnt sit still and just kept throwing his head back. He looked like he was in a lot of pain.
I feel so terrible. Making me tear up again just thinking about the poor little guy.
