Pets at Home Christmas Pets Parcel

[Sharkie]

I was once given a plush reindeer bed (not sure where from) for Christmas for my hamster but when I gave it to him, he got stuck after chewing through it! So I don't recommend those (he was fine after I helped him out.)

It looks like it contains:
Star Shaped Treat with Cranberry (£1 - it's like a funny shaped hanging treat stick...) http://www.petsathome.com/shop/Produ...&storeId=10151
Snowflake Hanging Trio (£2; basically a wooden chew toy) http://www.petsathome.com/webapp/wcs...e-hanging-trio
Soft Plush Reindeer Hamster House (£6) Pets at Home Christmas Soft Plush Reindeer Hamster House | Pets At Home
A wooden Christmas tree shaped chew. I can't see it on their website, but I suspect it retails for around £2 and it's functionally very similar to the snowflake hanging trio.
Pink cardboard tube - looks similar to this one (£1.50) http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pe...cardboard-tube
What looks like a Trixie Natural Living Ladder for Rodents (£5) http://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pe...b-exclusive%29

All in all, it's about £16.50 worth of hamster items for £10, so not bad value (unless you have to pay for delivery, in which case the savings are essentially wiped out), but it's geared towards hamsters that love chewing more than anything else.

It's also worth noting that some of the items (or similar) are available cheaper elsewhere
e.g.
Similar reindeer bed - £3.99 at Hyperdrug http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/Boredom-B...FcsW0wodkmsD3Q
Same Trixie Ladder - £1.99 at ZooPlus http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/small_...FcIV0wodnjYNGQ

Do they all contain the same then? That's a bit boring, but good in a way as it means we all now know what's in it!

Apparently the contents won't change during the festive season so it appears that the contents are the same.

Given the product range that InkyPen describes I'm not sure I'd buy one for my hams as we've got both a Christmas tree and a Christmas pudding bed which we use as photo props and they're not really interested in wooden chews. My piggies like wooden chews though so I might buy a couple of bits separately for them.

I'm surprized they didn't put any treats in though! On the website it mentioned toys and treats!

You could buy one and share the things out with the piggies and the hams, depending on what is most suitable. That's what I'm going to do for Oreo and Larry-Jasper.

I have a couple of other piggie Christmas ideas as well. Oreo has got the new Woodlands Meadow Forage Box but I'm saving that for when I can get him a companion. Fleece items are also good. I have a PiggiePigPigs Pigwam, which Oreo adores.

The star seed thing with cranberry is a treat .
