I have found in my dealings with Petco, If you are going to buy then yes they will devote ALOT of time (my son got his mouse that way). However the risk of cross exposure even with sanitizer is great so they tend to not allow you to handle just for kicks.



btw I do not allow anyone in my bird rooms with shoes on and without washing to the elbows and then still sanitizing between handlings. As far as the other rescues go they get an email pic of who they are looking at no shoes and again sanitization.......it has become a bit more strict with those wanting to play with LJ
