I have a couple of red foots and I am planning on getting another. I have searched a lot of rescues to see if they have any redfoots with no luck. I have been looking through the classifieds to find a breeder and there are plenty to choose from, but there is also a large chain retail pet store in my area and they have a redfoot that has been there a really long time. My dilemma is should I "rescue" a redfoot from this pet store or buy one from a breeder? I really hate to support this chain pet store (i only buy mealworms every several months when my colony is dwilndling), but at the same time I hate to see this poor redfoot in a tiny cage every time I go in. I would hate to buy it only to see it replaced with another.

any thoughts?
