New Owner. Questions. Where to get supplies?

[BenD188]

First off, I was a member of this Forum in the Past, and I appreciated all the help and information available here!

I have owned Chinchillas in the past, but ended up rehoming them due to moving and a hectic school schedule. It's been about 2 years, and now I am in the process of purchasing another chin (or two).

I need almost everything! Does anyone recommend a certain online store / member to purchase some of the stuff on my list?

So far, I have a Critter Nation cage, Fleece Liner, Food Bowl, Water Bottle. I plan on buying Mazuri Chin food from a local Feed Store. I will be looking into getting Hay from a local store also.

Some things I need/want :

Rose Hips
Better Quality Hay?
Blue Cloud Dust
Apple Wood Twigs
Other chewables (Wood, Pumice, ect..)
Ledges / House (Would they be cheaper online than in the store? With shipping prices?)
PVC Tube (May build one myself actually)

Can you think of anything I'm missing?

It's been a while since I've ordered Chin supplies online, What are some good sites out there?

I am in Missouri. I can get most everything in stores if needed, but would love it if there were some deals online.

Thanks for reading my 20 Questions! Oh heres one more. Are there patterns out there for things like Hammocks and Fleece Tube Liners?

If you check the chin supplies for sale section, there are links to pretty much everything you'll need in the grand master chin supply list.

I think people came up with their own patterns for liners and so on, but if you want pre-made ones, Brittany (a member on here) has really nice fleece stuff. I also think that Tanya has the best hammocks I've ever seen, as well as beds, and tubes/covers. She has a really good mix of organic hay with herbs and stuff in it that my chins go nuts over.

Whether or not it's cheaper through a supplier here or through a store isn't the question. Whether the stuff here is of a superior quality to that you find in the local Petco/Petsmart is. Having bought way more than my share from the chain stores, I can tell you that most of the people that sell things on here produce a much better, and safer, product.

id say you got/want all the Needed items, Id say the rest are all just things for them to enjoy. For instance Hammocks tubes helmets chew toys etc. I get my rosehips from http://www.camphorchins.com/store_food.html

I buy most of my stuff from here

I would just look under supplies.

PVC you can get it at a hardware store.

I do sell Blue Cloud dust and Blue Cloud rocks.
