Okay, I have read the posts on Petco. I really wish people would say the location so that other stores do not look bad. I personally am an Animal Care Specialist at a Petco in Edison, NJ. I personally take care of the ferrets in or store. I check them and play with them many times every day. We just got in three babies and I make sure they have canned food and softened hard food. They are doing quite well. Our store is very aware of every animal in our care. Just a few days ago we pulled a parakeet out of the main cage to one with a lower perch all because he had a sprained ankle. We have sick-bay in our store and we have a vet, too. Every store is different. Not all store are bad. I am sorry if I have offended anyone. Thanks. Linda Plus Tyler & Tangles, the ferrets And Mariah, the cat [Posted in FML issue 3313]
