What's the Petco age limit for buying a live animal without a parent?

Hi! I think the problem is that when your parents do not approve, you are not able to adopt any animal. This will only be possible with your parent's approval. So I think you are going to have to find out everything you can about the type of animal you want, and how to keep it properly and then work on your parents, showing them that you are responsible enough to take care of an animal. Also save up a bit of money to show that you are serious about fully caring for your pet, I think eventually they will think that you are ready for it and take you to the store or help you adopt a mouse.

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Wow, a three week old kitten is very young to be selling! Kittens should really be with their mom receiving their mom's milk until they are about 8 weeks old. You may need to check with your municipality or local animal control to determine any legal issues there are or may be. In addition, you may want to look for kittens on more reputable sources such as your local animal shelter or rescue organizations near you. I hope this helps and best of luck to you!

Generally, an adult owner is needed to authorize any kind of treatment - so I would say at least 18 years of age. But you could always call the specific clinic you're planning to go to and ask what their policy is, to be sure.

Unfortunately I do not think there is a proper ''adoption'' service but on their website there seem to be pages dedicated to it. https://www.petco.com/s/pet-adoptions Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Most pet stores will not take pets back unless they were purchased very recently. Looking to see if you can rehome them though a local ad, or contacting a local animal shelter may be your best option. A local shelter may be able to get you into contact with a bird rescue that can take them and adopt them out to a new home for you.

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/
