Good PetSmart experience.

Post by autumnfalls »

I wandered into Pet Smart on the far end of the city yesterday to get a Christmas present for my cat. I wandered over to the crab section and was surprised to find that they had a large selection of crab items. They had a good quality dual hydrometer/thermometer with a sign saying "very important" and listing the recommended temperatures and humidity levels. :D Their tank was small but had salt and regular water as well as deep coconut earth! I was so surprised. I ended up buying a little guy from there. It was great to see that they had non-painted shells too.

I wish I'd find a pet store with a tank like that some day... :(

Oh this PetSmart sounds good!! All too often cooperate gets complaints about their pet stores and the care of the pets. When I have the opportunity to see good conditions and items sold hermies need to survive I have a habit of writing cooperate anyway, which does throw them sometimes to get 'praise' regarding one of their stores. PetSmarts in my area when I do write ARE acknowledge for work well done and IMO this at times gives incentive to the managers/employees to continue to do so.
Have you considered writing to cooperate?
