I go to Petland on a month to month basis to buy crickets from them. I went to another Petland because the Petland I go to in Dalton was out. (I travel to Dalton because they back their crickets and are alive every time I get them home.
SO considering this Petland may be the same, (I buy 200 to 250 to have for the whole month at my other one. I was limited to 100.) I was wrong. I paid in advance while I went out to eat dinner and that way they were already paid for when I got back and they wouldn't get too cold. Well, when I got them, they were in a small container with a mesh, screen lid. I looked at the crickets piled onto each other, climbing to get off themselves and said to the sales' associate, "Are you kidding me?" I held up the container. "They're all going to die when I get them home." Well, the sales associate proceeded to tell me that's where they go in when I pick them up. "No, they're not. Go get several fish bags and put egg crates into the bag, then blow it up." She didn't like being told what to do. I got home with one bag and one container. Three crickets died, one of them eaten. (They were hungry.)
I also got told I was taking care of Allie wrong by dosing her calcium with D3 once a week, and multivitamin once a week. I'm due for regular calcium and that's going to be thrice a week and twice a week with D3. The cashier told me to give it to her once a week for their entire lives. (I believe that's how MBD starts when you don't give enough calcium.) I'm not going to this petstore anymore. I'm going to the one I always go to.
