Hey everyone!
What do your chinchillas prefer?
•Mazuri
•Tradition
•Purina Advanced Nutrition Show Rabbit

Next question lol,
Where can I order Oxbow Timothy Hay online?

Last question,
Do you guys prefer Blue Sparkle or Blue Cloud Dust?

Thanks a lot!!!
 
Mine prefer oxbow pellets, some people on here sell it reasonably priced if you check the classifieds.

You can order the hay online at Dr. Foster and Smith, but I usually pick up some at petsmart so I'm not sure if that is cheapest.

Blue cloud is a better dust, but blue sparkle is okay. Blue cloud is used on chinchillas that will be shown and by a lot of pet people. Blue sparkle is used for chinchillas in breeding.
 
i use mazuri mixed with panr (and oxbow!)
i used the kaytee & sunseed dust for years before i knew about blue cloud & i will never go back. my chins love it and my standard looks SO beautiful when he comes out, almost like a violet color, well for about 5 minutes! if you are ordering other items definitely get blue cloud.
i have ordered hay from members here online but it is not very cost effective because it is bulky and expensive to ship, but if you are ordering lots of other stuff you may be able to save. i think the petco by me has oxbow hay which i have purchased.
someone also recommended: americanpetdiner.com they swear by their hay and since i just got paid today i will be placing an order. hope that helps.
 
I LOVE PANR with a passion, and think it is just great and cheaper than Oxbow, I don't like Mazuri.

I also prefer Blue Cloud, because I don't like the sparkle in blue sparkle, it is annoying, and you can't see the chin's color as well, I think.
 
I feed my boys Oxbow Chinchilla Deluxe, which I also sell ;). I used to feed Mazuri but I noticed alot of wasted pellets and when I did the switch to Oxbow they were picking out the Mazuri pellets and throwing them out. My boys LOVE oxbow pellets.

I also buy my oxbow hay and blue cloud dust from camphorchins.com. To me it seems the larger bags of hay have longer pieces of the hay in them, maybe because the bag is bigger? But I have had less waste of hay, I think it's because my boys like the longer pieces.
