I have been visiting West Ajo Feeds for at least 15 years of my life. My mother has been coming…read morehere long before that even, when the amazing Chuck was still here and running the place. My first memories of West Ajo include a purple horse brush that I desperately wanted to purchase so I could groom my horse, Patches. I saved up my allowance for weeks in order to purchase this amazing purple brush. When I got up to the counter, Chuck rang the brush up and, the child that I was, I had not accounted for tax. Embarrassed, I said I didn't have enough -- and I remember Chuck laughing, saying how unfair taxes were, and he told me to take the brush home anyways. I was approximately seven at the time and I'm now 30 and still remember this. This is the kind of feed store this place is. Heart and compassion. Family run. Amazing. West Ajo is a family run business that sells all kinds of different livestock feed with a smile, warmth, and the character that you won't see at chain stores. They don't sell toys and clothes in their store but if you come in asking "What is the best feed for my horse" they're going to be able to help you out. I'd take great advice, knowledge about their products, and the kindness they have over a chain store any day. Their prices are competitive. They have a decent selection. And they'll always be there for you if you have questions, need something, or want to post something on their awesome bulletin board. They also support the community and have donated to 4-H events, to the annual Tucson Poultry Pigeon and Fancy Fowl Show in November, and to many other events. Without family run businesses like these, I would hate to think where we'd be. Definitely stop by and say hello to Vinny and the crew at West Ajo Feed and Supply!

I have dreamed of own an Ecosphere for about 5 plus years. FINALLY, my betrothed purchased me one…read morelast February (yes, it shipped from AZ to MI in the dead of winter with no fatalities). I was beyond overjoyed. I wanted one soooo bad, that I would watch youtube videos that owners made. It is not very riveting to watch online, but it is VERY facinating live and in person. Professor, what is an Ecosphere? Well, let me break it down. It is a beautifully blown glass sphere, pod or water drop shaped vessel that contains shrimp (the number of shrimp varies per size s-xl), shells, a magnet for cleaning, algae ,sea water, a branch, bacteria and micro organisms. It is self-sustaining ecosystem, you never have to feed the shrimpies. Simply provide your EcoSphere with a source of indirect natural or artificial light and enjoy this aesthetic blend of art and science, beauty and balance. Super cool, I know. It's like an aquarium but not having to clean fish poop out of smelly gravel. I recently moved to Tucson and my shrimp pals are still swimmingly perfect. Some owners have 10-15 year old shrimp still well and kicking. Some claim to have reproduced, however it is extremely rare....I'm still pulling that I will be one out of a million that has shrimp babies. If your shrimp die within a year, they will replace them. They also do custom orders. After years of staring at these babies online, I jumped for joy when I learned they are made in Tucson!!!!! I emailed the company and they said I could pick one up there....as I am in the market for a show stopping xl! They do not have a traditional storefront, but they have no qualms about me stopping by. I cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are in Tucson, they also sell them at the biosphere 2 gift shop.

When I first got my ecosphere I called the customer service line since I was worried about the little guys not having any light during the weekend. I was reassured that they would be fine for up to 4 days. The light and sun "charges" the sphere with enough energy which in turn produces oxygen and food for about 4-5 days with no issues. Yeah I know I can be a little obsessive but the person on the line was very friendly, helpful and didnt make me feel like I was crazy! Quick and responsive with a friendly and happy attitude. Love it.

Leaving a review of my experience based on the low ratings…read more If you know you are a responsible pet owner and will will provide a loving, safe forever home for a kitten/cat then definitely don't read the negative reviews. I looked online prior to coming in. It is recommended that you fill out an adoption application prior to coming in so you'll be pre-approved which makes getting the cat of your choice more likely. It isn't required though, you can pop in anytime they are open to see and meet the cats available for adoption. I'm glad Holly has pissed some people off! When I was there there were a couple of groups of people that came in with kids/teens who didn't respect the cat's boundaries. I saw a boy trying to play with a cat by batting at it when the cat had already popped him and it's ears were lying flat back on it's head. There was zero awareness from the boy (mid teens) that this cat did not want to play with him, he was just terrorizing it. The cats roam freely through the facility, some like attention others want you to leave them the fuck alone. Take a hint when it's given and you'll be fine. From my experience and based on the questionnaire for adoption Hermitage is just trying to get these cats into reliable, loving, stable homes. When I dropped in yesterday I had no expectations that I'd actually be able to bring a kitty home. Whatever hoops they require a person to jump though is in the best interest of the kitties. You are not entitled to whatever cat you want whenever you want it just because it's in a shelter! I am so grateful Holly let me adopt my sweet boy yesterday but I would've completely understood if I had to wait and potentially miss out on getting him. I showed up at 4 pm just planning to look but prepared in case I found "the one". When I knew I found the one I went back out to the lobby and filled out the adoption application on my phone. Once submitted I asked how long the approval process takes. Holly said it varies and recent background checks through my employment might have sped that up. I asked if I'd be able to take him home that day or would it be Tuesday when they reopen, if approved. Holly told me it depended on whether the people there before me were adopting and how many. This was because the cats have to get a checkup before leaving and there's paperwork to be filled out. The shelter closes at 5 pm on Saturdays. Completely reasonable!! So I just hung out and played with cats until I knew for sure. Luckily there was only one adoption in front of me so Holly had time to work me in. This place is wonderful and I am so so glad I wasn't dissuaded by the mediocre yelp score. There are some very petty people and they really mess up the reliability of yelp. This is definitely a place worth supporting!! Kitten tax: see pic

You can tell Chelsea really cares about animals. She is also very knowledgeable about reptiles and gave me some great advice. My inherited tank set up wasn't the best and she was able to give me advice on proper lighting. She also referred me to several informative groups and recommended a good vet.
