My recent batch is also 10/15/20, a bit greener than the last, and the pigs love it. I have not been smelling them, so cannot comment on any difference.

To the best of my memory, the pellets have always varied a little in size, shape, and color, even back in the old days of Kleenmama.

Placed a KMS order a couple of weeks ago and realized the other day that they hadn't sent me an order confirmation or shipping notification. When I went back on their site, I noticed the following message at the top of the site:

TIMOTHY CHOICE PELLETS ON CURRENTLY ON BACK ORDER. ORDERS WILL BE HELD UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. EXPECTED DELIVERY IS WEEK OF MARCH 29TH.

I hadn't noticed that before, and had emailed Dan who wrote back yesterday to say, "There is a national shortage for the ingredients we use. It is impacting many mills nationally."

Wish I had known that sooner. I wouldn't have waited until I was down to crumbs. :(

I worried about shortages like this all during the pandemic and the fires out west. Sometimes I have several bags of hay, and several months of pellets and vitamin C. There is dog food in the freezer, and I get the dog meds filled in advance so I have some wiggle room. Just scares the heck out of me that I wouldn't be able to get food or meds for my pets. I'll probably be eating ramen noodles or canned beans, but the pets will be okay!

That is frustrating. I hope you can get something suitable in the meantime.

Same here, Itsazoo. I usually keep things fairly well stocked, so this was my bad.

Just got an email that the KMS pellets have shipped---whew. Hopefully they will arrive soon. I have been mixing the last of the KMS with Oxbow, which works but isn't ideal as one of our boys doesn't like them.

Glad to hear the pellets are on the way! I’ve never ordered from KMS, but they have good reviews so I hope they can get on top of things and keep the company going.
