Petco
Two rats died within days, one a free replacement

Being an animal caretaker, I am very concerned about how animals are treated.

Two months ago, I purchased a rat. She was a newborn, just off the truck. Two days later, she died. I called Petco and they said that the whole bunch had died from a respiratory disorder, a cold.

I went back and they gave me a new rat, free of charge. A week later, I noticed that this rat was struggling to breathe. A few hours later, she too died in my hands.

Why are these animals dying? I have heard nothing but stories about how other pet stores handle their animals, and I'm worried that Petco is doing the same.

Please be careful when buying a pet, so that you don't have to go through the horror of holding your pet when she dies.
