[Gpdd] [MISC] Buying Hay & Pellets in the US

[Muddy Rats]

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and telling me where you buy 
your supplies from.

I did a search on froogle.com. If you're not familiar with it, it's part 
of google and gives you comparison prices.  I found an online store that 
carries Oxbox products.  I can get a 9 lb. bag of Oxbow Timothy Hay and 
a 10 lb. bag of Cavy Cuisine delivered to me via FedEx for about $36.  
Since I don't have a car, and the price of gas is at about $3 in the 
metro Denver, Colorado area... plus it saves me dealing with my ex or 
mother-in-law for a ride around town, and there's no tax on the order 
(gotta love that one!)... it's worth it IMO.  I didn't think of the 
vet's office - that's a great suggestion.  However, until I find a 
qualified vet closer to home, my vet who has treated my cats and birds, 
and does exotics, and is beyond qualified is about 30 miles south of 
where I live.  Unfortunately I don't know any other local slaves to 
split the order with.  If I have too much, I will find a place to donate 
it to.

Anyhow, the site is:

But since starting this email, Susi had told me about Kleenmama's and I 
checked their website.  I can get their brands at good prices.  Their 
hay sounds great.  9 lbs. of timothy hay and 10 lbs. of pellet would 
cost me about $31 to have both delivered.  Their website is:

So far, either of the above is cheaper than any of the sites anyone else 
has emailed me about or suggested.  It keeps me out of stores I dislike 
and I'm not buying brands I don't care for and am settling for.

If anyone else is interested, I went to Oxbow's website at:
http://www.oxbowhay.com/
They are more expensive to order from than anywhere else I've come 
across.  Even their shipping is expensive.  I emailed them for samples.  
They have a store locator - that didn't help me out.  They also have a 
vet locator - that may have worked, I have to call them yet.

I also went to Mazuri's site and requested samples.  Their website is:

Thanks again everyone!
