You guys think Petland is bad, maybe you guys should come and check out the Monster Pets in my area. I too went in to buy feeder rats, they handed me the rats in a paper bag and when I looked at them to make sure the were the right size (They would not let me it the room) and they were covered in mites, and I mean to the point it looked like they were rubbed in dirt. Needless to say I handed them back to the lady and drove out of my way to go to my usual family owned store that I love.
P.S. Monster Pets is also famous for selling puppy mill dogs. And the terrible part is that people are getting raked over the coles for these dogs. The mixed breeds they are selling at the one near me are $800!! You don't even want to know how much the pure breeds are... not to mention the fact I don't think they are 100% pure.
