Hm.. theres been a lot of nasty cases that have come out of Petco. Make sure you research before you speak.
Petco is known to be one of the worst places to buy any living reptile.

Also, I don't think mites effect their feeding habits very much unless it's causing them enough stress to go off feed. I suggest buying any animal from a well known and researched breeder.
