And we can put them on Eco earth if we wish. We have a first option and a second option. First being aspen second being Eco earth. I keep mine on aspen because 1. I keep them misted to keep proper humidity and 2. I clean ever week and it is easier to clean. If option 1 wasn't working option 2 it is. Also I train people to have proper husbandry as well.
Sunnieskys,

No hard feelings and nothing personal. I really respect that you are trying your hardest to properly care for the animals in your store and educate both staff and customers.

It just seems most of the big stores don't do that. It's not clear to me whether it's because corporate doesn't set proper initiatives and discipline properly for mistreatment, or there are too many employees, managers, etc. who don't care.

Either way, objectively, it seems like a problem.

Again, greatly appreciate your efforts.

Thank you.

David
