That is fantastic! I'm so glad to hear it! I'm going to go check out Stubble, myself.What part of the country is your pet smart in?
oh and sorry forgot im in Midland Tx
Thanks, I like to try to keep a vague idea of where our good guys out there are in case some new folks show up who need supplies.
I think I've completely hi-jacked this thread, sorry to the original poster!

You should be a regional trainer.

One of the ways that petsmart has always stood out as smarter than petco, as a company, (with regards to dragon care) was keeping their babies on eco carpet instead of sand. I guess they must have some sort of deal worked out with the calci-sand people or who knows what? I can see how tricky it is to deal with purchasers and companies whose products you are selling when they just have been out dated for bearded dragon care.
Perhaps Calci sand is giving away sand to try and boost business...so hard to tell but certainly a shame to hear.
Maybe the way to go is a campaign to eco carpet begging them to step up and beat out the sand folks freebies *LOL*
and now we are waaay off topic, aren't we?

Someone needs to come up with repti tiles that are 'designed' to fit in various aquariums. They can have variable surface textures to help with nails, etc...ease of cleaning...all different colors (just like the sand) put it in a box with happy dragons on the cover. No fuss, no mess...I'm sure people would buy them. I'm sure they'd pay more for it than at a hardware store and there's a new business. ta da. How easy would that be to market. 8)
