Want to report to SPCA!!
I wrote in my journal abou the experience at this particular pet store.It is pretty bad.But we went because it's close.about a 30 minute drive.The other,the good one is about 50 minute drive from my place.Plus my sister drives for 45 minutes just to get here.Anyway it's horrid.Alot of thick dust on alot of boxes.Must be bad for the animals.Their respitory systems.And if you are allergic like me.There was a Sun Conure there,he had a few bald spots.No clean water.No way was there fresh fruits or veggies in his cage either.The reptiles were emaciated.One Iguana was so thin his skin was wrinkling or kind of falling I guess.I have seen alot of healthy pets for sale.These were not healthy!The first time I went,she had just opened.Her rice finches were really skinny.You could see ribs!I don't think she sold them all either.She had alot of birds.Stacks of cages.All gone!Not same birds.If I had enough space @ money I would take all the animals home.All I got was 2 hermits.I just hope it's not too late for them.I really would love for them to make it.At least they have a chance now.I get up a few times in the night to check on them.So far so good.I have not lost hermie yet.Wish us luck.Say a prayer for the babies everyone!

Do tell them off or report them if you have too. Getting their conditions fixed up is more beneficial to the animals long term than rescuing them all.

Re: Want to report to SPCA!!
I agree with Wai. By taking all of them home only opens up room for them to bring more creatures into the same bad conditions. Sadly, we cannot save them all but need to try to make their conditions better.
