Spending FAR too much money ;D

Ok so Pepper has now been upgraded to a pink ZZ1 (how manly lol) which I have kitted out with the toys from his old cage and an ever changing puzzle playground set up (thank you eBay)

I already have a black and green wodent wheel which has seen better days so I ordered a new pink and lilac one (again very manly) which came today.

And now to add to the shopping bill I have brought a house, a den and a climbing wall from zooplus and some seeds for a little hammie garden from eBay.

How come hammie accessories are so addictive?! I have two cats and have never been this bad for buying things for them!! It seems like I just cant help myself!! ;P (tbf I don't mind though... I love spoiling my Pepper!!)

I know what you mean, I spend so much on them if given half the chance!

I agree. I never wanted to buy things for my cat (not that I was allowed as it was my parents's cat technically). But I still buy more for the hams. Although food costs are probably lower, so thats maybe a consolation...

I spend a lot of Izu but since I have 13 cats I spend far more on them. Just for a week's worth of good quality food for them all is £50, then there's medicine for Kanda which is about £15 a week. Then toys which I buy new ones of every two weeks (toys don't last long being shared between 13 cats) and I spend about £45 on that...XD

Izu gets about £30 of toys a month, he loves cardboard so much though I may have to stop that. XD

Yeah, I know what you mean! I can't stop thinking about what I'd like to get Hamchan next.

I've spent too much already...

Thank goodness I'm not alone lol!! I think hamsters themselves are really addictive too cause the first thing I want to do when I get home from work is get Pepper out to play. And the fact that I now want a dwarf hamster too. But that's going to need me to work on convincing my OH first lol

I'm exactly the same! I spend a fortune on my animals and it's like an addiction lol I'm constantly buying new toys and things and have a huge spare box of stuff that just keeps getting added to.
Just yesterday I was only out the house for 1hr 45mins but managed to spend £140 in 2 shops.....naughty me! But lucky animals coz they got new stuff.

Glad its not just me too. I'm trying to be good but can't help it - they are just so cute
They cry out to be spoilt rotten

I love buying new toys for Ruby but my mum has banned me going into pet shops >.< When I have money I always spend it on Ruby, never me!
