So i was at petco buying a uvb and saw how bad the conditions that they have the bearded dragons. They were lethargic, had NO heat, old poop everywhere and one was dead in the water bowl. I was very heartbroken by the way they have them. Is there nothing we can do? I felt helpless. I took a picture but don't know who to send ir to.

That's awful. I posted something similar about babies no longer than my pinky finger being sold & housed on sand. It alternately makes me sick and angry at the way people treat these wonderful creatures, and to see a pet store doing it... I guess you could demand to see the manager and tell them you'll report them to the county animal welfare folks for cruelty if they don't immediately take action. Beyond that or ratting them out to Peta, I don't know what else anyone can doNandF":2kcmk5xd said:
These were also on sand. And its shocking to me how no one seemed to care. I told the employee and he said he would take him out but that only the ones in charge could change the way theyre housed.Aaradimian":a7tl4u18 said:That's awful.
