Is this a real Petco policy?

If I remember right their live ""pet" where more expensive than a Mom and Pop store farther up the road from me. And I can get pinky - adults from them.

Yea, that's typical. The shop I used to run, we sold live adults for $2.99 and f/t adults for $2.00, mainly because I wanted to incentivize feeding f/t. But a quick perusal of the thread led me to believe that these shops were charging close to the same price, or at least that the f/t prey offered was in less-than-adequate condition making the higher cost a viable option for live...

Either way, my point was if you needed to get live food from a PetCo or PetSmart, for whatever reason, you don't really have to tell them the truth...
 
I would just wonder if coming in every week and buying a live mouse for a "pet" would lead them to refuse selling to you. At mine the same people are always there. Although knowing it's Petco, you can reasonably assume that any "pet" mouse would be dead in a week.
