"re-home" zebras

Post by KoacNation » Mon May 03, 2010 11:54 pm

I decided I would prefer to just keep my female zebras, and this means I have 4 males that I dont know what to do with.

What pet stores take back zebras? I want to do the right thing, but I dont know what that is!

If I cant come up with anything better I guess I'll keep em, but I'd much rather pass them on to someone else? maybe a pet store?

I've heard other folks say they have returned society finches to Petsmart, when they were sold the wrong sex. So I suppose they make take your zebras if you can't find another home for them.

I think you got them from a pet store didn't you? Then I wouldn't feel too bad about it, they will be used to the setup. Good luck!

Try listing a newspaper ad, or go on craigslist. Maybe post flyers at local vet hospitals. Worse comes to worse, you can always surrender them to a shelter. From my bird-hunting shelter experiences, I have to say they dont' seem to stay there long! One trio was surrendered, and the next day I went to see them, they were already gone!
