So, what is good? I'm confused.

[Evelyn]

Well, I have been on this forum for only a week but I really need to gather information for my chinchilla so I read so many threads at once and got confused of what is good and what is bad since everyone saying different things.

First of all, I have a feeling that Kaytee brand is bad for both food and bath... does it? If yes, I'm gonna need to find a place online to buy them because there are only 2 pet store here (Amarillo, TX) and Kaytee is pretty much only brand they're selling. If you guys would please leave me a link to the website that I can buy it online and recommend the good brand I should get, I will be very appreciate it.

Thanks!

You can find food, dust, treats, toys, bedding, pretty much everything on that list.

Good feeds:
Nutrena Naturewise 16%
Purina Rabbit Chow (can never remember the name)
Tradition
APD
Oxbow
Mazuri

Good treats:
Bite sized, nonsugared shredded wheat.
Pinch of old fashioned oats.
Dried rosehips.
Organic rosebuds.
The occasional cheerio.
Lots of chin safe wood chews.

Dust:
Blue Cloud (the best)
Blue Sparkle

You can also go to your local feed store and find rabbit feed there. Most will carry Purina, Manna Pro, and Nutrena.

I don't think Kaytee dust is bad (it looks/feels like blue sparkle). However I think you can get blue sparkle cheaper here
