*Mods you can move this..I am not sure if this belongs here or let your hare down*
So, I have come to the personal decision to ban petsmart and petco, along with most stores that sell live animals. I am making an exception totwo stores, Cage World, a local bird store that takes good care of thier animals, and Arizona Reptile Center who takes good care of thier reptiles.
I am also banning my local mom and pop shop Pets Inc, because although the reptiles and fish are taken excellent care of; they do not feed any of thier small animals hay, I have seen a couple gerbils/hamsters with health issues, and they sell baby rabbits.
There are a couple problems.
Small animal bedding. I have been using the Kaytee Soft Sobernt (unscented) type bedding and the mice (Although not my hamster)really like it.
My local rabbit rescue does sell carefresh, so I might just have to stick with it.
My toys for the rabbits and litter is coverd by my rabbit rescue (even though the variety is limited), although the feed is not. I do have to order my hay and food from a feed store.
Does anyone know of *cheap* hay I can order? I have been having major hay quality issues anyways, but most shipping seems to run $50 in itself.
So, I need obviouly websites that sell products I need for all my animals (parakeets, mice, hamster, geckos, rabbits, chins)
The rabbit and chinchillas re not the problem..it is the parakeets and mice/hammies.
I have so far I know of Dr. Fosters and Smith that I can order from. Does anyone else know of any?
And does anyone want to join me? It would be nice to have a group
