: You're right that we can't save all the animals, unfortunately. But there are some things we can, and do, to try to save what we can. Since you are in the $tore often, perhaps you can talk to him and find out exactly how much he doesn't know. Share your knowledge with him and let him know of all the animal abuse out there, much of it attributed to lack of education, I think, as opposed to lack of caring. (Tho there is also is *way* too much uncaring out there!). You can tell him of resources for education such as web sites (maybe even this one ;-) and such, I personally recommend MK's book also "Iguanas for Dummies." You might want to offer him some care sheets he can read and copy for customers. If you present to him in the most positive way possible, you have a chance to at least help a little. If he is totally uninterested and chooses to continue with the way things are, in such appalling conditions, then *HE* has made a bad name for himself and you have no choice but to report it for the sake of the poor animals.

: And, how did you make out at the vet? Is your ig doing any better? Please share any good info/recommendations you may have received from your vet. Thanks.
