Not in a million years. Every week I catch them mistreating small, common mammals which are easy to care for. How the hell can I trust them to look after exotics properly when they can't feed guinea pigs and rabbits?

Oh god not again. They used to sell reptiles when they were pet city, then when they became pet smart they stopped because their reputation as a franchise was dreadful. As pets@home they started stocking reptile stuff but promptly stopped again. They are constantly useless.

They used to stock reptile equipment just recently but they stopped all that.

They won't start stocking reptiles.. they used to and stopped quite some time ago as they don't have the staff or the specialist individual enclosures to generally meet the basic needs. They don't even do birds anymore

The reptile equipment was a flop apparently, they only stocked a few exo terra bits. They were stocking hermit crabs and stick insects to go with them but they were all recalled (god knows where they went) and they won't even be doing these anymore.

answered in the other thread, but most definately not. They can't get the care right of animals that are considered common, so i just see a disaster happening if they do start to stock reps again.
