Probably mentioned before that its really hard to get decent quality anything for buns here in NZ.
Over the last couple of months I have been researching & organising the importation of some good pellets. Although the buns don't get lots I want what they do have to be good quality.
After getting some info from Lobo (one of the Aussie RUers) I was able to get Oxbow Australia to send Bunny Basics T to me. But only after getting permission from MAF (Ministry of Agriculture & Fisheries) to allow it into the country.
Today I got 5x 2.25kg bags Fedexed to me!!!! Am very excited, hope the buns forgive me as I start transitioning them onto it as of today.
Anyway now for the sanity questioning bit.....the cost.
$246 (Aus) + $25 (NZ) for a further MAF inspection fee. Aussie $ are worth a little more than NZ$. Over 1/2 the cost was shipping.
Am feeling a bit guilty, thats a lot of money, though at 2 eggcups a day it will last then a good while.
Am justifying it by thinking that the animals are my kids, I feed the cats & dogs good food & want to do the same for the buns......but still feel that I've spent all this money. Haven't told my partner about it either!
Just need a few RUers to tell me that I am doing the right thing!
