Pet Supplies - Other
- Oxbow Hay - ACR&S feeds and recommends Oxbow brand hay and pellets to our piggies and bunnies. Locally Oxbow is available at Phydeaux in Carrboro and AniMall in Raleigh.
- KM's Hayloft - We feed and recommend Kleenmama brand hay. It is only available online, so the cost of shipping is high, but the quality is absolutely exceptional. They also sell timothy pellets!
- Tractor Supply Co - a farm supply store which carries very cheap aspen shavings (5 cu ft for $8). They are a farm store, and also sell chicks and ducklings, but they are intended for farmers and in fact the store in Elon has a 100 animal minimum purchase to deter the sale of these animals as pets.
- Leith Petwerks - Makers of the fantastic Bunny Condos, one of the only commercially available cages recommended by HRS. They are actively involved in rabbit rescue and dedicated first and foremost to providing pet bunnies with ideal environments!
- Southeastern Sign Supply - sells large sheets of coroplast (for making C&C Cages) CHEAP - $8.50 per sheet with free shipping over $25. WOW!
- Bunny Luv is an online source for great rabbit supplies, including some excellent toys.
- The Bunny Store is an rescue-friendly, online source for gifts for rabbit fanciers.
- PetWork is national network of pet resources, pet-related web sites, and information about pets. They seem rescue friendly, if anyone finds otherwise, please let me know.
- The Cozy Cavy - a rescue-friendly source of gorgeous cuddle cups and other piggy beds, very reasonably priced! Please buy your cuddle beds here instead of from a petstore!
