Not sure where to really put this, I didn't notice a Food/Nutrition Heading..

Anyways, I finally got some Tradition chinchilla food and it's also now listed on my site.

Just wanted to let everyone know, I know a lot of people like it and it's hard to get..

I've tried both in my herd and had better results with my breeding females on Tradition.

thanks jamie...

if things work out... i will also add nutrina naturewise if that is the correct name.. but i'm thinking with all your knowledge you know which one i'm talking about.

i'll say one thing for sure.. i hope the tradition sells after everythign i had to go threw to get it. WOW what a pain.. but the good news is:   if enuogh people buy it where i know 10 bags won't go bad, they will deliver right to my door.  until then.. its not easy access for me either..

[chinclub]

I'm jealous.  I wish I could get Tradition around here. I'm needing about 20 bags a month so shipping isn't possible for me. 

[flynhawaiian]

I wonder how much shipping on a 25lb is.  I’m going to be needing a supplier of food soon, almost have gone through a 25bag in 6 months...

[jmdebb]

ya know jam.. i had some problems so i wrote to the company and someone higher up called me and we were talking.. it's hard around here cuz this isn't part of their territory, but from what the gentlemen said, it sounds like they are trying to make it into their territory.. not sure how long .. or what will make it happen.salse or something else... but call them up... if you use that many bags, they may just deliver right to your door...

and i was going to ask flyinhawiian where from.. but i'm thinking maybe hawiaa with that screen name.. if you really want a shipping quote.. send me your zip code... and i'll check to see what is the cheapest way to get it to you..

i think close to 20 lbs will fit in a large flat rate which i don't know if that might be a cheaper way to go... but if you want we can figure this out..
