I'm in Southern California and have been feeding Rancher's Choice to my girl for the past 6+ years and love it. I recently moved quite a ways from the breeder that I buy her food from and want to know if anyone out here (near Magic Mountain) knows where I can find Rancher's Choice, or a feed just as good in quality. If I'm remembering correctly, I get 20lbs for $20.

Ummm....isn't ranchers choice the feed that killed hundreds of chins out west when it first hit the market? I haven't heard the name since then and honestly had no clue they were still making it.
 
It looks like they have redone the formula, maybe...They are touting it as the new pellet formula...

But as for finding somewhere that sells it, I am at a loss, as I feed mine Oxbow Chinchilla Deluxe..

Manna Pro Sho,Kent top show professional are both excellent feeds.Also Tunes did a breakdown of different feeds.
 
Hmmm, the breeder I got my girl from, and the breeder that I've been dealing with for the past 6 years all feed Rancher's Choice. I had no idea about the problems! Whoa!

What do the other good quality feeds run? As I posted before, I think the one I get is $1/lb. Thanks again for the help/advice!!
