    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....

Petco Aspen Bedding?

I did the same order you specified above and it came out to 128 I believe, but I had to sign up for auto ship. I chose ship every three months but I can tweak it once I know how far my order goes. Or I could cancel it if I really need too.
 
I would cancel it ASAP. I think the price change was last night so they might auto ship you at the new price.
 
It looks like the autoship price isn't locked in when it's set up, it changes with the regular prices. Or at least, that's the gist I'm getting from what others are saying. :shrug01:
 
Wow they really did just double in price. Im cancelling it, and have to look elsewhere again...
Thanks for the heads up.
 
Have other people noticed Petco changing what aspen they carry?

I used to get the big bales of KayTee brand. This is the aspen that is in large to medium size pieces:

Now they only carry their own store brand Planet Petco. This aspen is in a much finer shred with some very thin pieces:

I checked my local feed store but they only carried large bales of Pine, only had aspen in the very small bags.

Where can I get KayTee brand?
 
^ Wow, I guess it varies by location and must be a re-brand. I'll try to take a picture of the stuff I got from PetCo (if I have any left) because if looks nothing like that. That stuff looks more shredded and inconsistent.

it is, there are some big chunks of wood (larger than a half dollar, i picked those out and tossed), lots of midsize stuff and then random long thin pieces, I absolutely hate it. I'll have to go see what petsmart carries.
 
KayTee can be found at Red Barn and Feed (if you have it up by you April) and most feed stores can order it for you.
