As you all know I work for the wonderful Petco :shock: . I have expressed issues I try to remember to tell customers interested in beardies that are not included in the Petco care sheet, and so have many of you.
I am thinking of, actually pretty much going to make an info folder for myself and other associates containing extra information on beardie care, and I also want to include other animals - small animals, birds, other reptiles.
I am thinking it would be best to have somewhat lengthy info as perminant stays in the folder, but also making copies outlining some of the most important issues that the customers can have and take home - in addition to the caresheet :study: . At first customers will not want to stand there for hours reading lengthy material :roll: , so I want the outlined copies to state the most important facts that need to be addressed and pointed out (impaction, brumation, soaking, etc). I am also going to list some web sites and books that will be good for further knowledge about care. Please remember that I am going to have to state things carefully - I cannot totally go against Petco's way of doing things. Example: "Calci-sand, crushed walnut, etc. are substrates that are sometimes used for bearded dragons. If these substrates are chosen, they need to be handled with much care as they CAN cause impaction. These types of substrates are NOT to be used with juvenille (young) beardies or any other type of young reptile." This may not be exactly how I put it, but so you get the point.
If you have any suggestions on what needs to be added to both the permanent information in the folder, and the outline they can take home, PLEASE let me know here! Also include any books and websites that are of much help to you :help: :book: . The only one I really know of is this one :wink:
Thanks =)
