I went into Doc's Petland just today to look for hamster supplies. While I did not buy anything I was absolutely horrified to see 2 guinea pigs in a 10gallon tank and what broke my heart even more, was the gerbils.
They had to be about 10 adult gerbils, along with maybe 10 or more young gerbils and amongst them all about 3 newborn litters! All in a 10 gallon TANK!
Then in the aisle there was another 10 gallon take with about 15 male gerbils.
Because of this I will NEVER Step foot into this pet store, they have lost a potential customer.
