and by not letting them charge you for the ig, then they dont make gain...which means they learn. thats good that they are closing down... our petshop at the mall closed down too. they sold igs. thats where fatty came from, my son bought her there, brought her home, and said look ma, isnt she cute? he had her in a paper bag, with a heat lamp and bulb, and said now what are we going to put her in, mom? i about died. i knew nothing and neither did he. poor fatty had to wing it, as do most igs, unfortunetly. we had no access to compters and so she was raised bad for 2 yrs. poor girl. i really felt awful once i learned the correct way to care for her.
keep us posted on your new igs progress? what did you name your new little rescue? i love it when igs get good homes! :0)
