Re: Littlefoot delivery news.. updates
Pet shops suck...
Twice now local pet shops have had baby Savs on display in 10 gallon fish tanks with screen tops, and people herd around to watch "the cute little lizard" chase crickets.
I beg and beg some more to have them instruct the buyers to contact me the moment the Sav sells, but it never happens.
The one stupid (ugh I want to swear) said "don't you think we know what we're doing?"

Re: Littlefoot delivery news.. updates
Before i stated working at my current job, i had put in for a reptile companion position at one of the big chain pet stores in my area,but my application was turned down, stating i really wasn't the type they were looking for. I wish people would be willing to listen, to have an open mind, instead of letting their egos get the better of them.

Re: Littlefoot delivery news.. updates
My local pet shop takes excellent care of everything except the savs. I have a good thing going with them and don't want to mess it up, but I want to do something about the way they care for their savs, but I don't know how I would say it. They feed them mice and keep them a desert setup. I know they care about them, but their deceived by all the bad care info out there. I even thought that's how you were supposed to take care of them after weeks of research and didn't know better until I joined this site.

Use tact, if they feel insulted they will never pay attention.
Tell them that the Savanna plains is like Lion King, a green area that borders rainforest and jungle.
If they are telling the buyers that Savs are desert animals, every single one they sell is doomed to die the same way Chomper did.
If you have to, print out my dehydration post, picture and all.

Re: Littlefoot delivery news.. updates
Ok, I will do that next time I go up there (which is usually at least once a month). Let's hope it goes well and that they will listen. Too bad you don't live down here or I would send you in lol.

Personally I would go in there and act like you just received this epiphany. Sound excited and get a conversation going. Say "have you ever heard of this?" Then show them in your print out.
I told my local pet store why chomper died and how the dehydration starts when they are young. When I went in today they had 90% of the screen top covered in Plexiglas and some form of loose cypress mulch to help with humidity.

Re: Littlefoot delivery news.. updates
Hopefully little foot services sooner or later! I want pictures  he's gonna be so happy with you! But I'm still raising my sav like chomper! He will always be the sav I look up to! I'll just keep humitdy up. My girlfriend was reading forums with me when we first got Cassie our sac. And we read every single thing about chomper, she cried when chomper died, she got really attached, but savs do tht
