I have to agree I am always saddened to see this and the "revolving door policy" on some pets. Oh I want this! Buy it now, figure out what do to with it and the proper care it needs later. Oh dang that's a lot more work than I expected, don't want THAT one! I'll get rid of it and get something else.

What people fail to understand is that ANY animal is a whole lot more work and money to !properly! care for than they are led to beleive by pet store employees and/or unehthical breeders of whatever animal, thus the animals are the ones who suffer from lack of proper housing, proper medical care, and proper socialization for their needs. There are NO cheap pets! I paid 4.99 for a rat...I then paid 50 dollars to the vets two days later for a checkup and medication when she came home with a respiraotry infection and pneumonia. I paid 85 dollars for a cage for them, then paid another 25 when they ate the bottom off and I had to modify it to safely house them...This was a 4.99 rat, almost the cheapest pet you can buy except maybe a fish!
