petco care guides

l0wrider Apr 11, 2004 08:53 PM

I just wanted to tell everyone that petco has updated their care guides. i remember reading about someone suggesting to petco to change it. to day i want to petco to pick up a heat lamp bulb and i saw these packets. they are almost good.what they need to fix is.....

1 they say spinach is for the bulk of its greens...
2 cabbage, broccoli, and i dont know about zuccini, is hte bulk of their veggies.
3 they percentage of their food is 40% greens, 40% veggies, 0% fruit
4 use pellet or mulch type of substrate, unless they eat it then change it (a little to late here huh?)

well they have some way to go but they're almost there.

i dont think that petco will ever be a good place for reptiles.. the one near where i live they dont even have hat lights on the cages.. kinda pathetic when they say you need one in the care sheet..

i try to avoid petco as much as possible i do all fo my herp shopping online or i go to Home Depot(the best reptile store...imho)lol they have everything. lights, misters, you name it they have something you can use.. and it dont cost as much as going to petco or a place like that...
