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

[joan fagalde]

Hi Lori.  I would definitely recommend KM's.  That is what the LB eats with great gusto!  She gets KM's timothy pellets and blue orchard grass.

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:
http://www.chinchillas.com

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:
http://kmshayloft.com/

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:
http://www.mazuri.com/

Thanks again everyone!
