Default Re: Would Anyone Be Interested?

Well I would email Ratrations because they have said in the past that they do not send to the U.S because customs were destroying the box's.

But when I asked again for someone else they said that they will post to anywhere in the world as long as the customer knows this could happen & it would be at the customers risk.

I have a Big hamster food company looking into one of my Dwarf hamster mix's. They are seeing if it would be commercially viable. If it is & they want to take my mix on then it would be branded under there company & sold abroad as well as the U.k & they do sell hamster food in the U.S.

But we will have to wait & see what the company thinks.

Silver, I have discovered why Darla had stopped pouching all his food...



It was because he didn't need to! Seriously, this is the largest store I've ever seen him have

LOL ok sold to Kiania lol.

I guess its a case of being able to source the ingredients & be able to market it at a price the public want to pay for a bag of Dwarf Hamster Mix & for the big hamster food company to make enough profit from the sales.

It has nearly been 4 weeks now so I'm starting to get itchy feet!

Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all dwarf hams everywhere. You'd think P@H would want it to sell along-side their diabetic prone hybrids, hmm?

But yes, I want a food I can recommend to people (easily). Don't make me buy in bulk and then re-bag your food from RR - because that is my current there-is-no-other-way plan

I found a P@H member of staff that knows some hams are diabetic earlier, that might be a good start to convincing stores lol

And yeah, preferring the food to ham treats is definetly quite a reccomendation from Muffin lol

Sad news.

the big hamster food company has looked into the commercial viability & they have said it will not be viable cost prohibited on a large scale commercial basis.

And sourcing a regular & constant supply in some of these raw ingredients may also lead to its own challenges.
