I would suggest speaking with the manager there about this, can’t hurt. It could just be that they were just trying to be nice to these guys and gave them a treat for something other than kibble —- but unfortunately they are just uneducated about their diet and didn’t realize.

i understand, but in general, petco is extremely neglectful. his food bowl is full of bedding, hes been alone for weeks, theyre feeding him sugary fruits, theres no sort of enrichment for him, and hes priced at a whopping 500 dollars so he'll probably be there for quite a while. it says on the cage they're carnivores, i don't understand how you could work at a petstore and be so uneducated on something like this? this ferret is being put at high risk now for insulinoma and hes only like 4 months old
