No more Native Earth on National Pet Pharmacy?

I went to order some and apparently they no longer carry it? I got this http://www.nationalpetpharmacy.com/p...nt-Diet-40-lbs

Where to now?

Exact same company as NPP. You can also find it on Amazon.

The problem with that site is they don't do free shipping. I've been trying to figure out how to keep the price down. I called them and their marketing team decided to quit offering it. I'm sure people had figured out the deal and they were losing too much money on the shipping. I'll update if I can figure out a suitable solution. At this point the cheapest I've been able to get shipped is $28 a bag.

Wow, I have an auto ship that was going to process on monday. I would have flipped out if I never received the rat food. As of now, I still haven't received an e-mail stating the changes made to my auto shipment. I checked the site and it only shows the aspen bedding in my auto ship account now. Thank you very much for posting this, I really don't sweat the small stuff, but this actually bothers me. Now to find a new supplier :confused:

Yah this was a surprise to me too since I am low on rat blocks now. I just found a local feed store that will sell Mazuri $38 for a 50 lb bag but $20 for 40 lbs was soooo much better. Keep me posted on better places to shop online if anybody is able to find any.

Sorry. You guys had to realize they'd quit offering the free shipping eventually. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did, given the wishy washy nature of the company. There's no way they were making a profit with free shipping on 200 pounds of feed. LOL

Thank you for posting. I'll call them up tomorrow and cancel my orders.

If the aspen is still a good price, I might still get that. Otherwise, time to contact my local feed store!

$28 for Native Earth is still a good price and it is superior to Mazuri across the board. If you use Petfooddirect and enter SHIPNOW in the promotions it will be about $138 for 5 bags. This breaks down to just under $28 a bag. I'm trying to see about getting setup to be a "distributor" in my area. I have a buddy that feeds close to 200lbs a week so I think I might be able to swing it. If anyone else has an idea or better deal than $28 please share!

Wow, just got a shipment of five bags just last week. I'll have to keep an eye on hs thread.

I used to get Sand Valley Farms, which across the board is a very comparable product to Native Earth, and was only $16/40 lb bag, but the distributor I ordered it from went belly up. I was on the phone with them today, but since I wouldn't use near enough quantity, I'd get killed on the shipping costs, so they gave me a few numbers to track down other people they sell to. I'm going to talk to my local pet store to see if where he gets his, and if he'd be able to let me order mine at cost through him. Looks like now is a good time to meet some people that work with laboratory animals...
