So I have been feeding my colony Authority lite dog food. I don't want to spend more feeding these hungry guys that it would cost me to just buy frozen mice. I would like to get them on something a little better like Mazuri block, but I can't find a local place to buy a 50lb bag, and shipping is just monsterous. Does anyone live in around KC and know where to get it?

Also for sanitizing I am wanting to use Chlorhexidine for both my snake and mouse tubs. I also can't find this locally and again, shipping is a nightmare. Does anyone have any ideas? I know Petsmart carries Chlorhexidine in a small 4oz bottle. I am looking for the gallon size. There are people in my household that can't handle bleach.

Am I pretty much stuck with the shipping?

Will the Authority dog food work just as well?
