    If you are going to boycott, then you should not buy rats from them.

    Re: Reptile abuse! Boycott all chain pet stores!!!

    One small local shop near me is way worse than the local Petco and Petsmart IMO. The animals are in really rough shape and the employees there were not willing to pick up a bp when someone wanted to see it. If they won't pick it up it's hard to take good care of them. I have a corn that I got from a Petco quite a while back and she has done great for me. I look to respected breeders large or small for my animals now.

    I know, but where else could I get them? Can I order live food online? My girl won't eat f/t.

    Absolutely, you are so right! It totally disgusts me; I did an entire year of research before getting my girl.
