Subject: Pet Stores- Poor Gerbils
>Hi. I have a question about bad pet stores. I stopped by one today to
check
>out what animals they had. I have never had problems with this place
before.
> I went to look at the gerbils, and I was shocked at what I saw. There
were 1
>0 gerbils of different genders in one 10 gallon tank. They had no food and
a
>water bottle that was too high to reach. 3 younger looking gerbils were
>lethargic and very skinny. The rest were very bony, had poor coats, and
some
>runny eyes. Many had bites and bloody spots on their body's and parts of
>their coats missing. I felt terrible! All could have been beautiful
(mostly
>blacks, two lilacs) and friendly gerbils. I complained to the manager, and
>hope to see this problem resolve. My question is, if nothing else happens,
>what other steps can I take to help the poor gerbils?
