PetSmart is a privately owned company. They're under no obligation to make sure your snake is healthy. Just like they're under no obligation to make sure your dog is healthy. After they sell you a critter, that's pretty much the end of the transaction. They don't have to provide you with the ability to feed it just like they don't have to provide you with vet care.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...
Really, if you think about it, that's a GOOD thing. It's called Freedom of Commerce.
