Awsome Tim Hay in MA + Petco gripe
My son and I first went to Petco today to buy some Timothy Hay (Kaytee)-Yuck. It was all brown and full of thistles. My local Petco is usually quite wonderful with their fish and small animals (fish particularly) but today I'm starting to lose faith in them. Not to go off on a tangent, but it looked like the bedding hadn't been changed in a while. The Carefresh was so high in the mouse cages that the tip of the water bottles was submerged in bedding and the mice had to tunnel to reach it. They also had a $1200 parrot that was desperate for attention. It didn't care much for my 4 year old-and who could blame it, but as soon as I started soothingly talking to it, it started climbing upside down and putting it's head through the bars so I would pet it (I didn't, I don't know squat about touching birds).
Anyway, we went to another smaller petstore and they had the Best Timothy Hay. It's called Sweet Meadow Distributers out of Sherborn, Massachusetts. It's a lovely green and you can smell it as soon as you get near it. Not one brown piece in it. It cost $4.99 for a net weight of 20 oz. So, it's a little expensive but gorgeous stuff. I think I'm more excited than Hammy! Any of you living in Massachusetts may want to give to give it a try.
