It just looks like a lot because you are not realizing how long it will last, and because you are spending it all at once instead of over the next 6 months like you would be if you got it at the store!
Good luck! |
As much as it ticks me off that I spent more on shipping a 50lb box of hay from Oxbow than the hay it self the $/lb is about 1/3 of buying even the largest bags at the petstores. Plus then you are not contributing the petstores that sell animals.
My main sources for piggie supplies are
Oxbow.com - For hay and pellets.
Tractor Supply - Aspen Shavings plus they have some supplys like water bottles and food bowls.
Local grocery store produce dept - for veggies.
