I recently had my first pet chameleon pass away and I do and don't want to get a new one. The problem is that if I feed it 20 crickets a week, that's $3 a week at petco. Which in a year adds up to $156. Also I don't have a real job because I'm only 1
You can search online for a better price. Another option would be to raise them yourself. Crickets can be bred in a 10 gallon tank. Check out the website below for more information. http://cricketcare.org/breeding/

How old do you have to be to buy a pet at Petco?
Customers under the age of 18 cannot purchase live Companion Animals or Aquatic Life without a parent or guardian present. (Excluding crickets and worms). Due to the demands of time and intricate care required with certain species, it is in the best interest of the animals to not sell to minors. Parental permission at time of sale will ensure a better home for the animal and lower our rate of return.

Hermit crab is burrowing and hasn't molted for 3 days undisturbed. There is an ammonia smell, but it is still alive. Should he be isolated?
Gently pick him up and check him to make sure he is still alive. If he is, place him back in the hole and cover him as he was. The molting time will vary from crab to crab. Generally, the larger the crab, the longer the time needed to molt.

A friend of mine gave me a Pacman Frog, and I absolutely know not a thing about frogs. Every local pet store I go to only has pamphlets on tree frogs. Is there a way that someone who knows more about amphibians can possible refer a link so I can lear
Thanks for reaching out about Pacman and including photos. Found quite a few websites with information including Reptile Magazine, Petco, Petsmart and other pet stores. This would be a great start. Read as many as possible to assimilate the wealth of information. Good luck.

I've got a few questions. First my two birds are having a hard time bonding with me how do I fix that? Second I think my hamster needs a bigger cage, picture below, 3rd my leopard gecko has a heating Rock does that mean I can leave his light off dur
Thanks for reaching out. Sound like you have a full house. 1. Birds will often bond together but continue to work with them in a quiet environ, offering treats to win and re-enforce trust. Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.
