Even? Pet stores are THE WORST source of information for any animal... Maybe I just have limited exposure, but pet store workers/owners in general seem to know or care very little about animal care, especially more exotic species but even very common animals (tree frogs, mice, hamsters). The general ignorance scares me...Originally posted by Fox-Gal
I even been in a few pet stores where I have heard them giving people bad advice when it come to repitiles
And YellowLabLover, wow. Almost every rat book I've seen in stores (book stores and pet stores) says cedar is dangerous but pine is "safe" and one I saw in a pet store just last month recommended mixing cedar with pine so you get the cedar odor control but the "safe" pine... It made no mention of any other type of litter. It also said to use a hamster cage. I wish I remembered the book title. It was in the small pet aisle and their only source of pet care info for mice/rats...
I'd say just to use several sources for your information and be able to separate facts from opinions. Ask around for reputable books and websites. Like do online searches for book reviews. Those are quite helpful.
