Does anyone have a local petland? I am picking up two blueberries from there tomorrow *happy dance* and the lady said that they might be able to special order more if I lived closer (I'm visiting dad for the holidays and just had to take a peek at the pet store)
Try asking the petland people if they will order some in, I really love petland the tank conditions were amazing and they let the crabs molt and wouldn't dig them up and sell them if they were (she mentioned a couple PPs were molting and had to wait a week to be sold until they were done) Plus the people there knew ALOT about crabs, one even owned her own. I don't know if I just found a great petland, but it might be worth checking out if theres one nearby! :)

As much as I want a blueberry, and it's awesome that you found one, Petland tends to be a really horrible place for animals. A big stir was caused by them at one point because they were selling puppy mill dogs claiming they weren't from mills.

The petland here has incredible conditions for all it's pets, and doesn't sell puppies or kittens (apparently the manager decided the contraversy was too much) they only will advertise local peoples puppies from time to time :)
