I recently bought a land turtle from a lady in Medicine Hat. Lets just say this lady did not know how to take care of the little guy. Now me being new to owning a land turtle, yet knowing he was in rough shape set out to learn a few things. I first went online and gathered info then went to Petland to purchases the items needed. I took along my two youngest boys for a bit of a field trip and they had a great time. In talking to the staff they admitted to not knowing too much about my breed but passed along a card for a vet that specialized in turtles.
It has been over a month now and my little guy is responding nicely to being taken care of, I learned enough online that a vet was not needed but will say that the staff I meet at Petland seemed to care and wanted to help in anyway possible. One of them even recognized me the next time I went in to buy a new UVB bulb. Nothing feels better then when the staff remember you and are able to give you better service because of it.
