Sisal String

[laica]

Hello, I have some tubes and things that I would like to attach to my hamsters cage, but to do this I need sisal string. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells animal safe string all the places I have seen it say for outdoor use which I'm guessing means it's been treated.

Anyone know of anywhere that sells it?

I've bought it from ratrations you might also find it at places that sell toys for birds.
Sizal - £0.25 : ratRations.com

Cypher you are an excellent mine of information! I bought some on Amazon but it ended up being a huge hank of really thick rope rather than string lol! It was cheap so I binned it. Have just checked out your link Cypher - the smallest is 6mm which is what I ordered from Amazon and it seemed really thick.. How thick is the stuff you got? I ended up getting some from some sizal tunnels I bought that had the string with them. The tunnels were no good - sharp bits all over the place, so I just took all the string off them. They cost £7 for a pack of 3 from viovet and some long bits of sisal string with them.

These are the ones - each 'hide' has two pieces of sisal string looped through, one at each end. I just pulled them out and used two of them to tie a cardboard tube to the top of the cage. And expensive way to buy 12 pieces of string but the string was just right. The hide tunnels were awful though - not suitable for a hamster.

I looked at it on Amazon too but couldn't quite get my head around what I might end up buying lol!
6mm isn't really that thick, I'm not using it at the moment & can't remember where I put it otherwise I'd take a photo to show you, sorry about that, I have so much hamster stuff I can never find anything!

I have just ordered some from ratRations postage was a bit costly just for string so I ordered some wooden mushrooms to make up for it. (So they get a new toy and I feel better about postage win win I guess )

lol! that's the problem with ratrations, I always find myself searching to see what else I can buy for the same amount of postage when I only really need one thing! Never fail to find something I really "need" though!
