When I first go Pi, I was buying her food from a popular chain pet store, but the distance was a bit of a pain, so I looked for a local place that might be a little bit closer and I'll be darned, I found one that was pretty close. They had all the supplies you could ever need for any reptile or arachnid you could think of.
My problem comes down to this --
the LOCAL pet store only gives crickets in increments that are either too little or too much and I get the feeling that they are pre-bagged if that makes sense. The employee goes into the back room, comes out with a paper bag stapled shut. The first time I went there I had a good experience with them, the second time I went up there, they didn't have "small" crickets in stock, and the third time I went up there, when I opened the bag when I got home, not all of the crickets were the correct size so I feel like I was kinda' ripped off. However, their crickets seem healthier and are also less expensive.
--
The chain pet store always gave me what I asked for, although the crickets didn't always look healthy and I think there were a few dead ones as well. They were a bit more expensive and some of the employees were somewhat condescending while others were really nice and helpful. There was no going behind a back door, I could see how they were filling and what they were filling with.
What would you do?
Sorry this was so long, but I feel sorta' stuck.
