New Petco--not a horror story!

Oh i live pretty close, i might go check it out myself, i have never had a problem with petco before i guess because i never ask for advice from them and i understand that they keep numerous animals in one cage because they actually sell, so each one will have a home pretty soon. However if i seen something that is excruciating to see then i might say something to someone, or complain about on a thread

Our big PetCo here in Toledo is quite well run and I'm always impressed with their committment to proper care for each species they sell. It's rare to see sheds or feces in the tanks and they aren't overcrowded. They do keep multiple baby bps per tank but not overcrowded and in a pet store, well that sort of thing is going to happen. They do provide appropriate hides for any animal that needs them, fresh water, etc. Their rodents, bunnies, ferrets are always clean and not in stinky caging.

glad to hear a petco or two is doing things to improve the living conditions of the animals they are planning on selling. as for using mapquest, dont bother. It's usually a**backward with directions. Try using mapblast. its much better and more up to date.

I hope it's just not in tip top shape because it's opening day. But it sounds great. I've only seen around 1 or 2 Petcos that provided decent care of their animals. The one closest to me doesn't do so well. I walked in the other day and saw a dead baby ball python

The 2 petco's I've seen got their stuff in order. Their reptile "expert" is experienced and she said her husband used to work with NERD.
