Doomed Petco Hissers

I work in retail and we always watch the ones with backpacks or baggy clothes the most. Plus I wouldn't want to risk getting sued for a couple of roaches....

 
I just rescued 8 adult hissers and several dozen crickets from a Petco dumpster.  Last month, I found 3 more live adult hissing roaches, along with over a dozen babies.  Petco throws them out if they multiple or run out of food.  I find mealworms and crickets regularly.  Dubias sometimes too.  Petsmart once threw out a ton of live fish.  I was too late for most if them,  but some survived and are still alive today.   

 
Always check hissers before putting them with your other hissers. I had to get rid of my whole setup of hissers last year because I brought in one with tons of mites, and it spread through my whole lot. 

 
I got dubias from the same brand... they are super slow growing and they were kept with no hides or food. The hissers are terribly hybridised, only 1 or 2 inches instead of 3. 

It's so sad...

 
I absolutely HATE pet smart and petco for this exact reason! It’s soo sad how they treat animals and feeders as well. They simply don’t care!
