Tractor Supply Company(aspen bedding questions)

[Superpop]

So our BP Snickers will need new aspen bedding soon....

I have read various posts about "Tractor Supply Company" on here and we have one about 20 minutes away from where we live. I would rather purchase outside of pet stores due to cost but more importantly because I have MAJOR PROBLEMS with the way pet stores operate.

I just worry about "dust" and "sharpness" of the 2 kinds of Aspen bedding they apparently sell though...

Any thoughts by people who purchase aspen bedding from there? your advice would be greatly appreciated

I dont get it at Tractor Supply but a Feed Store Teklad brand I believe. About $10 for a 30# bag and it works just fine. It looks just like the pet store stuff and I have not had a problem with it. All dry wood shavings will have some dust even the pet store bags. Yeah it's a big bag but its mch better than paying 7 or 8 for a little bag at pet store.

I tried the Tekland shredded Aspen which had very small pieces but it was very dusty. I like the Aspen shavings - less dust, more volume, soaks up the urine better and it gives the rodents something to chew on.

I was buying big bags at reptile shows but found that the prices were cheaper at big box stores (Petco, Petsmart) when they have sales. I have to drive pretty far to reach a TSC or a "feed & grain", so the gas cost eats up any savings.

Look around at all of your options.

I use the Aspen from tractor supply store. Never had any issues with it.
