You can always look. At most shows there are dealers who will sell you all sorts of useless things. Suggestion: engage the dealer in conversation about the animals before you mention that you are interested in buying. If you get brushed off, find another dealer. If the dealer seems interested in talking about the animals, he probably cares enough to take good care of his stock.
