I am not trying to bash pet smart but....
Over the Summer of 2008 I went on vacation to Albuquerque, New Mexico. If you are familiar w/ the area this specific store is located near to Cottonwood Mall (right next to Keva Juice). My fiance and I stopped in the Pet Smart one day just to check it out while we were in the area.
When we first walked in I went strait to the area where the pets are located (as usual) and when I saw the baby beardies I was shocked at their living condition. They had a very, very small enclosure (maybe 1 foot by one foot, maybe) and it was FILLED with babies. there wasn't even enough room for each to have its own personal floor space. There was poo everywhere. They had absolutely no food and the water was brown and thick. It was absolutely awful. I contacted an employee and let my voice be heard, I couldn't belive they had animals, someones future pet living in those conditions. I don't see how any one of those hatchlings could be healthy. I've heard Pet Smart isn't the best store, but I'd never really had any problems w/ it untill I saw this... It made me sick. Even now, 4 months later I cannot get it outta my head.
over the weekend we went to a P.S. here in Kalamazoo, MI and I was much more pleased with the habitat for the beardies there. It was clean, not too crouded and had plenty of food and clean water for the hatchlings...
