Regarding rodents. when I first decided to get a guinea pig, I got him and brought him home and a cuple days later he started having an eye problem and had crusty crap on hi eye, and I kept tryin to clean it and take care of it,but it wasn't right, I wasn't a vet. so the petco aggreement makes claims about veterinary costs within 30 days or whatnot, so I called and told them, and I called a cet in the are to find out where to take small malmmals to the vet, and Petco gave me teh runnaround, and when someone who knew finally got back to me, they said they don't really do that or animals that only cost 12 bucks. They said that in this kind of case, they'd usually just offer a refund or exchange. I'm all flipping out, going EXCHANGE? t's a living thing! So, everyone I know sympathizes, but tells me I couldn't have really had a ny sort of attachment to it, I've only had it for a week blah blah, and I should just get a new pig. I was really upset, and went in to the store, but they convinced me I wasn't going to get a vet bill paid for, so I wasnt'going to go to the vet before I knew the deal, so I exchanged the pig. Overall, it was ok, but I'm sitll not quite over the non-animal f riendly nature of the experience. they say they had ointment they would put on him in the back and they'd keep him seperate and put him back in the cage with the others when he was better, but I went back there a couple times in the next few months and never saw "flansburgh one" again.
Meanwhile, I am unable to bring the now nearly 2 year old Flansburgh Two to L.A. with me, and I'm worrying about if my friend is really goignto take good cae of him. He's just a big loaf of rodent, but he's mine.
