The shopping thread

fluffymunchkins · 01-08-2011, 03:56 PM

Now i know quite a few of us are big spenders on here

And we're often posting about all the hamster stuff we've bought and different websites. So i thought it'd be a good idea to dedicate a thread to all us shopoholics

I know I love a good spending spree and the excitement of waiting for a parcel to arrive!
So post anything you've bought/ordered or are planning to buy from websites and shops.
Then leave reviews on the service, delivery times, products etc.
It doesn't have to be hamster related, even if its just a new pair of socks that you love

It'll help each of us to make sure we get the right things, or even avoid getting the wrong things. Aswell as letting members know of any good bargains, discounts or offers availible.

So come on get posting on all your goodies x

such a great idea =]

Thanks debs

i think i'll start since I've been spending all my xmas money in the january sales on Amazon.co.uk: Low Prices in Electronics, Books, Sports Equipment & more
I'm waiting for my gorillapod in green to arrive
Joby GP1-OGEN Gorillapod - Green: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
so i can take better pics and vids of the hams

Also i finally ordered electronic weighing scales so no more massively estimated hamster weights

James Martin by Wahl Digital Kitchen Scales,: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home
I was spoilt for choice, but this one had good reviews, especially on its usefulness to weigh very small masses.

Love the idea, Mel

I have ordered from zooplus for the hams new Expedit cage: Bag of soft hay, Pitti bedding (for digging) 2 hollow cork logs and 3 bags of JR farms protien cocktail (dried mealworms, locust and shrimps) I think that's it! It came to £26 (with the £6 off code)
It was dispatched today, so I am hoping it will arrive this week!

What a great idea. I have bought some books from Amazon and bought my step son a DS game from Amazon. The only problem we are having is things are taking ages to arrive. I am currently doing some biding on ebay

oooh i love those cork logs, i must get some next time i order.
I'm wondering how big they are though?

Looking forward to what you make of them

wofunny · 01-08-2011, 04:11 PM

Yeah, I was wondering that too. I ordered the smaller ones as they didn't have any bigger ones in stock.
I will defiantly post some pictures of it all!

Yeah, me too, they're advertised for guinea pigs I think? so may be a bit big for the dwarfies

I'm going to be doing a zooplus order, cork granules, 15kg of chinchilla sand and something else little (to bulk it up to £29)
Also want to buy sesame a silent spinner, and have won some karlie wonderland wheels off zoopetsupplies ebay

Oh, and I'm waiting for a delivery from surrey pet supplies

I also need to buy a bike and am going to build a new desktop soon..oh..so much to buy..so little money! D:

I also asked my dad to buy me 'some' hamster food...and he came back with 10 bags of harry hamster..and I only have dwarves...so I'm thinking that'll last a while!

I am Katie, and I'm a hammy-spendaholic

I'm waiting from Surrey Pet Supplies for a trixie jungle gym, a trixie platform and a trixie playhouse. From Zooplus I am waiting for a Karlie Wonderland wheel and some shrimp and prawn cookies.

The best experience I have had so far has been with UK Pet Supplies, my order arrived within 2 days!

stellanova1 · 01-08-2011, 04:19 PM

Great idea...I made an order from surrey pet supplies...so waiting for that..Will show what i got when it arrives.

And I've ordered shelving units for the hammie room from this site
