[Bartman]

I wasnt sure where to post this, but anyways...


If anyone in the gta/toronto, or even thornhill area, know where to get large quantities of aspen shavings, please pm me.

Thanks

PCPC usually has some bags in stock too.. Any farm supply (co-op) near you should have it as well..

Bartman: I work at a pet store in the beaches of east end toronto. We have fairly large quantities of aspen shavings... approximately 1 foot deep, 3 feet high, and maybe 2 feet wide.

If you are interested, give me a PM and I can give you some info.

Wal-mart should have it as well. Probably more expensive than the other places listed.

I get a compressed bag 24"x18"x6" approx for $6.50can or so at my local store. though I have noticed that not all Wal-marts carry it. It's in the small animals aisle and is listed as "Small animal bedding"

Ren's sells the big bags of aspen for about 1/2 of what PCPC sells it for.

Rens is definitely the place to get it if live in and around Toronto. I've yet to find a place that sells it for ANYWHERE near as cheap as Rens.

[Bartman]

I found out today where I work, they sell it. Not to public I dont think, but I got some.

Cost 22 bucks..is that good/bad?

[HetForHuman]

22 bucks for how much?

[Bartman]

a large bulk bag, that fills up one of those large garbage bins. Its compressed in a brown bag.

[mykee]

Sounds like a compressed 3 cubic foot bag, $22 is twice as much as you would have paid at Rens.

[Mark]

3-4 cubic foot bag of aspen shouldn't run you more then $7-10.

[Bartman]

So then it looks like im going to have to get shavings from you mark. I could see hjow much you must go through in a week ;)

Problem is I use pine for the rodent ;) I use paper for the snakes.

Wood stove pellets are compressed wood shavings they work for me, the turn into sawdust when they get wet (i dunno if this is good or bad), they are $4, for 40lbs
