I was in the mall today and hadn't been in the pet store for many years. Decided to go in against my better judgement. Curiosity called. They have 3 oregon newts. 2 are in great shape; fat and healthy looking. The other one is extremely skinny, every bone shows. No skin lesions or other obvious skin problems though.
After chewing on this issue all afternoon, I finally called and talked to the manager. Asked him if I bought that newt, would he give me a decent price cut on it. He agreed to and said he's had that one for over 3 months, it's a huge burden to him since he can't get it to fatten up or even die. He's been feeding it bloodworms and is most voracious at feeding.
My question: if it's survived this long under those conditions, would anyone else here pay $3 for this scrawny newt? My mothering/nurturing is coming through
I'm willing to take the time and money to do this. I'm probably crazy.
