    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Mazuri tripled their shipping now

Just when i thought it was a great deal to have it shipped. I have had it shipped. Now they went to $30 shipping instead of the $10 it was. What a joke. Back to picking it up for cheaper then buying from Mazuri its self.


Anyone have a good co. that is under $30 per 50lbs of feed ?
I can buy Mazuri near me,but i hate when companies do this and would like to give my $$ to a co. thats is not like this.

Sand Valley, rebagged Harlan, used to do some delivery routes on the east coast. Maybe you can get yourself hooked up with them?

I'm seriously considering driving to Seattle for a load of Harlan every year. If Mazuri gets much more expensive I'll have to. Those are the only two I like.
 
That's really weird. I just checked their website and it still gives me the option of a $10 flat shipping fee to my location (58201).

That is weird,but depending on where you are might matter. The site said new flat rate fee of $29.95.
I will check it out again. I just ran to the store and picked up a few 50lb bags.
My zip is 12304
 
The reason it went up is because i was trying to get 3 bags. More then 2 made it go up to $30. So i can place an order of 2,pay 10$ shipping and order 2 more for thew smae 10$ shipping. Thats just wrong. Place an order for 3 and pay trpl shipping. HUM.
So 10$ flat rate is not a true 10$ flat rate.
 
Aaah, yeah, I seem to remember that. I wanted to order a couple of bags and the shipping skyrocketed. You're better off making three separate orders over as many days to avoid the excess shipping charge. Not sure why they do that, sounds like bad web programming to me?

I just did 5 bags and they wanted 250 shipping. I think their site needs some adjusting huh ? Thats the way to beat shipping. I wished i did all this yesterday before i went and drove to get them. No big deal though.
So we play the game i guess.

But if you order 3 bags separately it is STILL $30 shipping. 10+10+10=30

You are correct. But order 2 and its $10 also. 3 and its $30. 2 orders of 2 and its only $20. So the key is to order 2 at a time to keep getting it for $10 shipping.

Their site is a bit screwy with the way its set up for shipping.
 
It seems like they fixed the glitch and its not in our favor. When I put in one bag its $20 shipping two bags are $30 and three is $35.. There is always the possibility that im doing something wrong but I dont think so..

It's never going to be in our favor. I just gave up the rat colonies. I have a couple places I buy frozen rats from that I trust and it's cheaper .
 
How many animals do you have to feed? Last time I did the math I was past the point of buying. The extra work it takes to maintain the rats was definitely worth the savings..
 
I have around 30 boas. Plus babies and hold backs . And growing.

I just got lgs for $1.50 after shipping. $1.75 for xls. And if I go to a semi local rat breeder from on here,it was cheaper. And to be honest,I got attached to some of the rats. Dang things are pretty smart. So I hated to put them down. So it's worth the couple cents I might have saved,if any, to not put down. Let someone else do that.
It's been 5 years and I haven't gotten any bad rats. For now,I'll keep buying. Maybe when I move south I might do some in a shed or something.
