The Nessicity of it all
« on: December 22, 2008, 03:04:17 AM »
Every time I go into the petstore, or the pet section somewhere I always come across some prodict or anouther that claims to work, an seemt o the solution to all my problems.

How many times have you paid 20.00$ for a product that makes a cliam onlyt o find it doesn;t work, OR if it does work it only works half assed?

Now if we look at the market as far as our hobby goes an take alook at the produts how many of tehse products that the books, caresheets, breeders etc. tell us we need or have to use in order to have a healthy animal actualy work?

I mean "Lab tested" etc. is a pair of words thrown around alot.
We need UVB bulbs for our turtles an some other critters, Vitimin Supliments, yadda yadda.
As we go threw these products we ome across some that seem to work great but at the same time we have some that don't seem to do anything.

So it leaves you thinking "Is this all really nessicary?"

Yeah, you're right, but sometimes we just won't take the risk of not having somethink that maybe our pets need... For ex. I've read somewhere that the uvb bulbs don't have any effect on the iguanas... But on every other site I read that uvb is essential for a healthy iguana... So till I can prove the opposite (witch I can't), I will have uvb in the terr. just cos I won't take the risk that my babys might get sick...
So yeah, I guess some people make a lot of money on pets products... Just cos we all want the best for them, probably we'll buy everythink that they'll say is good and necessary...
And religion, like the monster that it is
Keeps telling you to turn the other cheek
God is on your side, but I don't think that you're on his,
If Jesus showed up now he'd be in jail by next week !!!

See thatsthe thing though  When I had my Iggy "Renagade" i never once used a UVB bulb with him an i had him for 15 years never an issue once but while i don't doubt that it may play soem sort of role these products that they shove down our throats do not always work an we as consumers have no way of knowing for sure what does work an what does not work.

lol' that is why i go out of the way not to buy my pet supplies from pet stores, i buy my heat bulbs from lowes or home depot or tractor supply company.  i buy my bedding my likewise companies, if i can get it elsewhere i don't buy the overpriced pet store specialty products
