It cost nearly $300 just to get her into a vet, get fluids, parasite screening, blood work, and antibiotics. Not to mention all the upkeep costs.

When I'll get an animal, I'll get it from a breeder who takes good care of their animals and aren't just trying to make profit.

This honestly really upsets me because if they took a whole whopping 10 minutes to research this tortoise they would most likely be detured and that's just scratching the surface and not even getting into the details of owning one. That's what happened to me and my brother and our parents, my brother wanted a turtle (not a tortoise but similar) and my mum wanted to look at their care online before getting one and not even 15 minutes later she said "no" because we actually saw what they take to care for and we weren't ready for that.

Thank you Tyler for all you do for pets and their wellbeing. You are a real hero to many.

It drives me crazy that they just do what the Petsmart guy told them 😂 like we all know how committed those guys are.

Great. Another tortoise that's going to suffer and end up being released/at some rescue. This is horrible. I hate when people with huge followings do ridiculous things with animals.

THANK YOU for addressing this vid. I saw it when it came out and I was really hoping that someone like you would be making a video on it 🙏

It breaks my heart seeing how people treat animals like things. How these people went into a pet store looking for a dog and came out with a tortoise which they probably had 0 knowledge about. No healthy diet or protected enclosure???? Before I got my pet bird my family made me do MONTHS of research to ensure I was ready for the responsibilities of owning and taking care of an animal. They’d even randomly ask me questions on what to do if something happened. They’d even ask me what I would feed it. It’s sickening to know that, that tortoise will probably never live a healthy and/or happy life. Please NEVER impulse buy animals. It’s borderline abuse Edit: I’m not saying you need to do months of research but what I think is people should be responsible and have at least the basic knowledge and know how to take care of that specific animal

I’m so glad you did this video hopefully they will see this and will adjust the care

I hate how they are calling all the other pets as “extra animals” like they are just something to decorate your house Edit: “he is going to jump out” yeah like the tortoise totally is going to jump out of a box because turtles always jump out of boxes 🙄

Was hoping someone would talk about this! Thank you!!!

not to mention that their daughter is probably going to get bored of it in a few weeks (of course, if they did proper research and got her excited about the care and learning about an animal would probably prevent this) and it's a 50-year commitment. i bet they'll rehome the tortoise within a year.

Your love for animals is so strong, you can genuinely feel the sadness in you when youre talking about how theyre neglected. much respect.

Hey Tyler! Just found you today with your animal introduction video and I think you’re such an amazing person for your commitment to your animals and how knowledgeable you are. I also was really inspired that most of your animals were rescues and rehomes. I think what you’re doing is super important and are a huge role model to future pet owners. I wish we had more people like you in the world instead of all the neglectful, ignorant and abusive people out there. Keep doing what you’re doing and hopefully more people will be educated and learn from your example!

I had watched this before and was so mad, when they said they bought the “ turtle “ I screamed out “ NOO!”

California resident here! If this video is recent then depending on where they live I actually wouldn't keep a tortoise outside right now. The weather has been really bipolar with tons of rain

This video needed to be made. Thank you. 💖

THANK U FOR REACTING TO THIS i saw this yesterday and i was like "they need to do reasearch"

sadly, the tortoise got the spoiled 6-year-old owner that everyone dreads

California does have nice weather but that’s seasonal. And has cold weather and very much rain.

Poor tortoise

I LOVE ur vids, thanks for the awesome content 👍👍👍

I work at a petsmart and when I started I didn't really know much about reptile care, but now since I wanted to make sure I educate people on how much care goes into reptiles I always tell them straight up how much goes into every reptile and make sure the person has the proper setup. And it's all because of these videos so thank you for all the info I've actually got a few reptiles of my own now lol

My tortoise hates the pellets and knows what he can eat and can’t eat. It’s amazing how smart he is.

This makes me genuinely upset. Their outlook regarding “other” pets as if they’re lesser than a dog. I personally have species that are more money, time, and commitment intensive than my dog. I don’t love one more than the other, and I give them each the research and respect they need. The fact that they purchased this animal, some very minimal care supplies, then stuck it outside in an unprepared manner makes me disappointed.

The moment the girl said, "Can we get a bird, I'll keep it in a cage." I FREAKED. Birds are extremely hard to care for and take months and maybe even years of extensive research. If you keep a bird in its cage and interact with it incorrectly it will get sick (mentally and physically) and die. oh and "We can get a BONUS pet" and " The dogs a big decision and the other animals aren't as big of a decision." are things that are not true and just don't happen. and at the end, they got a friken tortoise without any knowledge about them an animal that will grow huge and lives WAYYYYYYYYYYY longer than a dog just because they couldn't wait for a few days to get a dog.

That video literally hurt my soul 😣 thanks for making this video tyler I really hope they see this and can either take proper care or take the animal to a rescue..

As an employee at PetSmart, I completely agree with you! I get so many customers that come in and impulsively decide to get a pet. Watching you tubers like yourself has helped me to become more educated on proper care so that I can then properly inform customers. A lot of the information provided to employees at stores like PetSmart and Petco is often incorrect and is intended to push as many sales as possible. Thank you for this video!

Karsen Nelson this! I completely agree. Most of the workers at my store do care a lot about our animals. And it’s really difficult when you have some employees that miseducate customers simply because they weren’t taught properly themselves. It’s awesome to have workers like you to be good examples Karsen ❤️.

I was waiting for a KZreadr in the pet community to say something because I watched it and I was so disappointed 🤦🏽‍♀️

Good, respectful criticism and advice. Thank you for spreading awareness and the importance of NOT impulse buying pets!

I appreciate how you handled this video. As someone who has been misled by pet stores in the past (and subsequently lost animals I loved), I’m glad your stance was on improvement without necessarily attacking the new owners. It’s easy to get angry (as one should with deliberate neglect), but in these cases showing you care about the animal and offering constructive criticism make a massive difference. My (extensively researched and properly cared for) gecko thank you.

It is 1000000000000000% their fault for getting that poor tortoise

I hope that the labrants see this video

These videos are super great to watch.

Very informative video, I hope it reaches this family and they take your advice.

Them: everything else is less of a responsibility than a dog Me: they are crazy My two parakeets: WACKKKHHHHHHHH Me: slowly loses mind

I'n my opinion dogs and cats are the lowest mantanince pets you can get. Even rodents are a big commitment because they need a lot of space and you have to clean there enclosure frequently.

Love your videos!

You are ABSOLUTELY 100% correct on how pet stores force their employees to talk to people. I worked at a PetSmart and if I spent too long with people giving them info they had NO idea about, gave them information on something that isn't in store or just in general went "off script" with the incorrect care guides I got in trouble. If we were busy I was literally told to just hand them a care guide and box up the animal. It's a rough one dude. It's an imperfect world and not every store is like that obviously but it was my experience... I just hope people get the CORRECT info and go into this knowing fully what they think they are getting into. It's not the animals fault they were cute and your kid was bored and now they have MBD or some other permanent situation out of human ignorance or neglect.

I like the LaBrant family but EVERYONE should do research before buying any kind of animals. Especially animals that are big commitments. But congrats to the LaBrant family for their pregnancy!

That simply disgusts me, how can they do such think?

The kid was scared of the tortoise 😑

thank you for speaking out on this. i’m sick and tired of youtubers impulsively buying animals for views. it’s so harmful and just downright awful

I bet the tortoise will be rehomed in a month cause they will be bored with it

I’m so glad you addressed this. They can’t accept comments on their videos so I commented on an Instagram post - they haven’t even addressed it. It was the epitome of an impulse buy without even researching it at all. I hope if they keep the tortoise they research and provide at least the standards of care it deserves

I used to work in a chain pet store and I was DEFINITELY told a ton of lies about exotic pet care. Even when I did my own research there was still a lot that I couldn’t do, because employees aren’t allowed to tell people that any of the products are actually bad for the animals. For example, if someone wanted a betta and a half-gallon bowl I could encourage them to buy an appropriate setup, but I had to word it super carefully so as not to make the tiny bowl “seem bad” (even though of course it is bad)

Them:Ohhh he’s gonna jump.. Me: umm? Tortoises can’t jump? Mind: maybe they can.. Me: Ok self if they can it’s not very far/high!!

THANK YOU for making this video , it wasn't petty at all and I really hope this makes it to the Lebrant family and they can take your advice and take proper care of this new serious commitment. It Is so sad that the most well known and powerful pet store chains is so bad at informing their customers on proper care! I know they are running a business but they shouldn't be lying to customers just so they can make a sale.

I personally watched videos and researched corn snakes and ball pythons for the last year and finally got one two weeks ago. I couldn't agree more that doing the research and taking the time to make sure you are ready for the commitment is absolutely necessary.

This makes me so sad. I saw this earlier and was hoping someone would talk about it. I am a reptile owner and hoping to get a tortoise one day. But there is no way I'd just grab one for the store one day. I also have experience and watch reptile videos ways. Thank you for your videos. Do you know what breed of tortoise they bought?
