Baby rice

I saw a box of baby rice today (45p for a fairly large box) and thought I'd give it a go with the hams tonight.

I just made it up in a ratio of 2 teaspoonfuls of baby rice (they recommended 1, but it was really thin so I added another):10 teaspoonfuls of lactol (already made up with water) and voila! All of the hamsters wolfed it down faster than anything else and seemed to really enjoy it - so if you haven't tried it before then I would go out and buy some

Ooh, I'm interested now. Think I might get some. Will the box last for a while? (ie not go off that quickly?). Where did you get it from? Do most places sell it I wonder?

Yep its dated for 1 year and a half. I got mine from a place called "Instore" - it's one of those cheap household places - but I imagine you can get it anywhere that sells baby food.

After seeing my lots' reactions I would definitely say it's worth a try!

Most places sell baby rice, you should be able to buy it in any supermarket.

Thank you - I'll go look for it sometime in the next week.

Noname loves it Jane, along with other baby foods and baby cereal. He also likes Farley's rusks...
...I'm always expecting someone to ask me when the baby is due when I go shopping - there is usually more baby food in my trolley than food for us human adults!
No wonder my Rose is such a long skinny girl - I never feed her!

Oh, I'll look for those when we next go shopping then

I already buy baby food occasionally for Charlie so that will be okay

(oh, and noname might not be noname anymore - I have a name for him now

Not sure whether it will be stick but I like it)

it is cheapest in Poundstrechers/Instores just now (talking as someone who buys it for human and hamster babies so I do a lot of comparison shopping for baby food) but do bear in mind it is just ground rice at the end of the day so get that if you can it usually works out cheaper /kg
Asda are doing great deals on baby jars 8 for £3.50/£4.50 depending on size
