My breeder finally messaged me about my baby! He is currently 3 weeks old!(I'll attach a pic) I have waited so long to get one and will pick him up on April 27 when he is 9 weeks old! I am getting Mazuri pellets from the feed store because I heard its the best and that's what my breeder is feeding him. I do have a question about the type and brand of hay to feed him.
I originally was going to buy 3 lbs of timothy and 3 lbs of alfalfa (DuMOR brand) but have read recently that alfalfa should be the primary hay given. I could get a better brand if I only got one type of hay.
Also, can I mix other hays in with the alfalfa?
I have heard good things about Oxbow and Small Pet Select. What other brands are of the highest quality? Others you personally recommend?
I know that hay is hay and the best is what he will eat is what i should buy but how would i know what is his favorite? I dont have him yet!I wanna give him the best that I can get (and can afford as I am only 13 1/2) i am buying 6 months worth. (6 lbs) my budget is $25 max for hay.(I have plenty of money but have to buy tons of other stuff along with the critter nation cage which is pricy and want to have money put back for an emergency fund)
