Default Reduced Inventory

is anyone else in the states noticing the major pet store brands have reduced their inventory for hamster stuff?? I went into the stores today and like there are half the amount of cages in there and checked the website and found the same and the same for toys and chews and things as well. Wonder whats going on. Anyone else noticed that all the hamster stuff at one of them is also usually at least 1 dollar more expensive? But at the same time that specific one usually seems to take better care of its pets. where else is there to buy pet stuff besides amazon? i want more variety. Also I saw very cute squishies (robos) today and they came up to me in their cage and everything but hubby was not having it soooo I will just have to sell a bunch of stuff to have lots of extra room for hamsters or something.

Default Re: Reduced Inventory

I buy almost all my supplies from Pet Supplies | Dog & Cat Supplies, Pet Meds | DrsFosterSmith.com Pet Products
I use their Ecotrition Organic hamster food (6.99) which is at least $2 cheaper than the local chain stores. I also get their bird treat sticks for hamster treats for $1.98 for 3 sticks and I've bought their silent spinners too.

Of course, I have guinea pigs and rabbits too so getting free shipping w/ $49 is easy

I've bought most of my hamster toys for amazon for around $6 from either the Ware or Hagen brand such as these:

I also don't pay much attention to what's in stores, because I can always find better deals and selection on-line. I usually try to go for free shipping as well, as it's possible for $49+ on a few sites. In some cases, even with shipping, prices are less on-line.
