Stock up at the reptile show, i knew a guy at the pet store for like about 4 months, and he would always give me more then he was suppose too, but he left and worked at another pet store, and now i have to meet a new guy, and he would also give me 15 mealies instead of a dozen, very nice guy and really good with herps. They dont sell 1000 anymore, you have to order the box, ordered box 3 weeks ago, for 28.00 bucks

I go to the Reptile Store to get my crickets most of the time. I usually go in and ask for 50 and they give me about 300..........lol. The reason I only ask for fifty is because I don't want to bother keeping them alive for a week............but obivously I end up doing that anyway................lol.

merivale store
I actually applied there like a week before they fired everyone, and then was interviewed for a job. The guy who runs it now used to be the manager of Big A*'* ******** Services when it was in Bell's Corners. Anyways this new manager didn't seem to care so much about how much i knew about reptiles, only about sales experience. He was talking about these people applying who grew up on farms and how they know so much about animals. I pointed out that what is good for a horse means absolutely nothing for a chameleon. He kind of looked at me funny. I never wanted the job really anyways, so i didn't mind. The old staff was more knowledgeable, and was a little nicer. But they weren't all experts either. You could have a reasonable conversation with Shane, but nobody else knew anything. I heard some pretty bad recomendations come out of his mouth aswell though. I have tried to get the new head of reptiles to get me some juvi repcal beardie pellets for like 3 weeks now, messes it up every week and gets the wrong thing, or nothing at all. I give up, pet stores are just no fun to go to anymore. Anyways, from what i have heard; This manager is the last chance for that store. It has to have a large sales increase or it is being shut down. Thats right from a manager at the kanata location (good friend of mine).
Anyway's they are still leaps and bounds above that merivale mall pet store. They are on my boycott list. They have had the same reptiles in there FOREVER, none of which have large enough enclosures. All of which have dirty water dishes. i'm not going to get started on that though...

to be a good and sucessful pet store is to have the right things for the animals, and where they get it from. If they do thta i bet you that they will sucessfully hve an increase in saales, cause a lot of pet that are bought from pet stores are WC nd most of them die, within 2 months. Just in my opinion
