I have gotten a few animals from pet stores only rodents. But they say they are about 6 to 7 weeks old and they are more like 4 months old.
So, they can sell them quicker. Honestly so disguisted that they would lie about the age.
To make sales, and get new animals in. Some stores, if they don't get adopted or bought, they put them to sleep, sad story. People normally like young cute pets.
People would much rather buy young animals, and people need to make money so they say they are younger than they actually are.
to make sales, to make believe that these animals are still young and you can keep them for a long time before they die.
Why do they lie and say their puppies don't come from Puppy mills?
