Finacard mini-bales

06-01-2008, 02:30 PM

I've heard so much about Finacard (and Megazorb) that I'd love to try it but I live in a one bed flat and space is very limited (especially when its filled with hamster cages!) so buying a huge sack/bale has never really been an option.

But, I noticed on the net that Finacard do mini-bales (so suitable for people with storage issues like me)...I just had a mail from a lovely man at Finacard with the following information which I thought might be of interest to others on here:

Each pack of minibales consists three minibales.

One pack is £9.00 delivered.
Two packs are £13.00 delivered.
Three packs are £16.50 delivered.
Four packs are £20.00 delivered.
Five packs are £22.50 delivered.

Payment can be made via paypal or by cheque.

Note: The prices are based on delivery to me in London so I'm not sure if there would be a variation or not to elsewhere in the UK.

I am not sure about this but I think I may have seen the mini bale at a show and its only the same size as a small packet of care fresh not sure thought it would be ideal to sample it if it is though

That's a perfect size for me Matty - just what I wanted to hear, thank you! In my case "only" the same size as Carefresh is exactly what I'm looking for! Yippee!!

Yep, its more expensive to buy it in smaller packs but I can't store the big bales, and I don't want my hams to miss out on such good bedding. As many of you know already, when it comes to my hamsters, its no expense spared (note: I do appreciate that I'm very lucky to be in a financial position where this is an option).

ELC BVH can get mini-bales and will have some at Andover I would imagine and it is much cheaper than the prices you were quoted

Oops! I just ordered some (I have no patience at all)....but if I like them, I'm sure I'll want more. Typical Londoner - it sounded like a bargain to me!!

i can also get mini bales for 1.99 each, but i doubt you'll be at the same show as me

p.s. mine are a different make, but the same thing. i actually prefered it to the real finacard cos the strips were smaller. no garentee though i'm affraid cos the pet shop only seems to have 2 packets at a time.

I will have mini bales at Andover. They will be on the sales table for the grand sum of £1-40 per bale.
ELC, I take it the person you have been in contact with would be Dilip Shah, a very nice man

Thanks Bunsey, that's very much appreciated though.

the finacard guy is very nice. he sent me free paper bedding, too.

Yes, it was Dilip. He's lovely. Working on a Sun night too...its worth the extra money just for that - I was very impressed!

I'll definitely be buying some at Andover then....between my new show pens, Finacard and the 9 hamsters I've entered, its actually looking like my car will be so full that I'll have no choice but to resist the sales table.
