Ok everybody I went to petsmart, not that i was actually considering buying a piggie from there, but i always buy our supplies there. so anyways i bent down to look at the sweet little butterscotchy colored piggies that they had in there, couldn'tve been  more than about 3 months maybe,and they had eye gook! kept scratching their eyes and sneezing. i marched straight up to the manager and toold him, and he sent his animal tech to go get her out so i could show him. i showed him all her signs and things and told him he shouldd quarantine her. he asked if i was a vet, and i had half a mind to tell  him yes but i said no i had owned piggies since i was 13 and now i'm 22 so i like to think i know a thing or two. he said he'd be sure to check it out. i warned him it could die, and he assured me it wouldn't happen, yeah, right, this is the biggest petsmart in the tri county area and you think he's gonna pay attention? it looked like all of th3em were sick! they should have small animals classes so they can teach the people the right way to take care of the piggies, and if they attend the class then they can buy one. some piggies just can't afford it health wise to sit around and wait for you to learn, u know? i think all pet store managers should be well versed in the care of exotic animals like piggies. WHOSE WITH ME??? what should we do? i think we should all write letters, and you can send them to me if you want, i will make copies in case they get lost and send the whole kit n caboodle to petsmart  headquarters.

anybody else thinks this is a good idea, let me know i'll giive you my snail mail address
