Okay, so i was in one of my local chain petstores and they had some new baby beardies. And when I say new, i mean newwwwwwww. Super super tiny. At this point we're all mildy used to this so it didn't shock me. While looking though I saw 1 pressed against the glass in the back and there were crickets all over it. My first thought was oh my god he's dead. After several seconds of watching for breathing, I asked them to open the cage so I could check it out. He wasn't dead, but he was close, found 2 more in the exact same shape. We got the manager and asked him about it, started doing the usual...this is what they need, blah blah blah. Anyway my girlfriend just comes out and asks him if we can take them home, get them on their feet and bring them back. He says okay, so we end up taking 3 with us.......
.......so here's the big question......should I have just left them there? I know that I shouldn't buy sickly dragons from petstores because it just makes things worse, but is helping the ones they already have also bad? Also, should I return them, or tell them that they were too bad off and died? Obviously if I don't return them they're never going to let me take any more home if I ever see more that are in bad shape.
What do you guys think??
I took pics, but don't have time to upload them now, but the babies weighed in at 2 grams
