For the smaller pet shops a little nudge from a customer in the right direction seems to work. I helped my local store understand a few species they'd never had before like an emerald skeleton that was always unhappy and very quick to anger. Told them they are a species that likes to burrow and now they made sure it could burrow but kinda guided it to burrow along the edge of the glass with a pre started burrow on the edge. Customers can still see her but she is happier. They have told me she isn't as defensive now. Wonder if enough of us some how contacted petco if they'd get the hint? Easier said than done I know but it's a thought</p></blockquote><p></p>
