Well for the second time in the last 5 years, my shredded aspen supply has dried up. There was an American Excelsior division here in town that gave me access to 30 pound bags for around $10. They closed the Memphis warehouse.

I then found Harlan shredded aspen on Amazon for around $15 for 35 pounds shipped. I just logged in to order more for the first time in several months and found that the shipping price has run the shipped price up to around $33 per bag.

I am back on the hunt for a new supplier. LLLReptile has it for $32 per bag. Not much in savings there, although their shipping is MUCH more reasonable.

I will be checking some of our local feed stores but wanted to see what the folks here are doing for their bedding.

Thanks!
 
I don't know if you have them out there, but I get aspen from Tractor Supply in NC.
It's possible you can also have a feed store order some for you. They probably already order other shavings from a company that also sells aspen, but they may not have had a reason to order any.
The tractor supply I go to stocks a dozen pallets of pine at any given time, but there's usually only 6 or 8 bags of aspen on the shelf so it's definitely a lower demand product.
 
I actually host the servers for Hollywood Feed, so I am going to try them. Maybe I can work a trade???
