Equipment Review and Discussion :: Is this happening at all petlands?

[daredevilgirl013]

I go in today to get my biotize, aquatize and turtle clean, and there are none to be found. None. I was disappointed and I asked if they had anymore and they said they stopped carrying it. Is this going on all over??

If so I'm glad I found a site that has the stuff cheaper compared to what petland wanted but it was just the idea of wow this bites if they don't carry it. Especially since they are opening up a new petland close to where I live! I was going to go there to get all my stuff (and my ghost shrimp!!)

I just hope this new takes better care of their animals. (I bought a new betta fish today to get it out of there because over half of their bettas were dead and they just left them out on display still....and actually a lot of their fish were dead....but my betta is healthy and follows me everywhere in his bowl and comes up to me as if to say..is this mine? My bowl? It's huge! Is it really mine? Are you my mommy? Feed me!) I seriously think the fish is saying that....

Yeah, I find that's happening at the petstores here too. I don't have a petland near me, but there is a place similar, but that take better care of their fish (from what I've seen). They used to ALWAYS stock turtle nutralizers (Just a water conditioner, but it was in the shape of a turtle ^_^), and now I'm lucky if I can even find it in there! They're always out. And the entire reptile section has shrunk from a full aisle to just an end... I think it's because most petstores focus on the "cute and cuddly" rather than reptiles.
There is however a independent petstore, though I rarely go there, that carries more reptile stuff, and are in fact the only place in town that carries turtle docks.
