Sorry to hear about your loss in such a short amount of time.

I have, and would again, buy supplies from LLL. I'm local to one of their stores, so it's no big deal for me to hop over there. However, I wouldn't purchase animals from them. Their animals have looked to be in pretty good condition when I've been to the stores, looked clean and well cared for, but I still wouldn't buy animals. It's my personal preference. I've seen and heard too many sad stories about animals purchased from stores (in general, not targeting LLL individually). It isn't worth the risk to me.
