They never took care of it. It smelled and I felt so bad for it. Lauren ended up using her money for that semester's accounting textbook to purchase it. Christie (who didn't pay for it) took it home for the winter break because Lauren didn't want her parents to know she had bought it, but when break was over, Christie never brought it back. So they got in a huge fight. We never saw that animal again...and Lauren ended up transferring...
(I changed the names...)

That's really sad. I'm clueless as of why people buy animals they know they're not going to take care of.
