Shopping for your eRodent.

 There are a large number of places on the web where you can get supplies for your pet so I thought I'd have a look at some. I haven't gone through any of the stores in great detail so the appearance of a link on this page doesn't mean that I approve the site. What I am looking for is toys, feed, bedding and cages suitable for the animals on this site. Take care when ordering on the net to make sure that you are dealing with a reputable firm with a registered address.

It is worth the effort of going through some these stores particularly if you are looking for toys or a certain brand of food as many of them have items that aren't found elsewhere. I try and look at these links to check that they are still OK now and again but things come and go so please let me know about any more pet shops and any dead links. Last Updated: 1st August 2005.

First of all I must make a quick plug for Hammocky Hammocks, all funds from which are going to chinchilla rescues. These are just wonderful, the chinchillas adore sleeping in them, they haven't managed to chew them even after several months and they wash well. Suitable for all small and furries, not just chinchillas. The lady is also a member of Chinchillas Unlimited. Do a search on Hammocky Hammocks or try this post.

Cages

 John Hopewell Cages - I haven't used him myself but I often see him recommended on the Chinchillas Unlimited forums. He makes chinchilla cages, and rat cages with deep trays and solid floors that are suitable for degus, as well as great 12" and 16" wheels.

Aviary Accessories do excellent rabbit hutches and aviaries that would do for chinchillas. I ordered our custom guinea pig cage from here and it is of a very high quality.

Moncaster and Prestwood Pets are suppliers of wire mesh for making your own cages. Prestwood wasn't up last time I checked but I have left it in case it comes back.

Ebay is also a good bet for cages. Do a search on Degu Cage or Chinchilla cage and there are often quite a few ones there.

Mammal Mayhem is an ebay shop that is worth a look and has a range of cages and toys.

Midland Hutches make rabbit hutches and runs including some very large hutches designed with giant breeds in mind and custom hutches and runs. They also do chinchilla cages and aviaries.

Toys and Feed

 Chinchillas 2 Home - "The site for unusual Chinchilla products and gifts in support of re-homing unwanted chinchillas in the UK". This is a cracking site for a good cause and I buy their food and toys regularly - if you visit only one site make it this one. It has great Feed, hay (including good quality timothy hay), toys (including Chubes, willow and wood toys and leap and sleep-n-ledges) and some really nice looking chinchilla gifts including the best chinchilla mugs ever. They are setting up a new Chompetz store for wooden toys as well.

Summerhill Pet Supplies has a great range of products, check out the chinchilla toys, which are also great for Degus. Also stuff for Rabbits/Guinea Pigs and Hamsters/Gerbils.

Bunnymail - "Treats and Toys for your bunnies and you". A good range of toys and other items, many of which are also suitable for chins, degus and other small and furries. Now selling Megazorb.

Checkout West Wales Willows for some wonderful willow small animals toys, willow to make your own and UK grown timothy hay in bulk.

The Chinchillas For Pets Not Pelts Nationwide Rescue Service. - This site has a good selection of UK mail order feed and accessories that are often unavailable elsewhere including a good stop-chew liquid. Mail order only but it is pretty straight forwards.

Bunny Bazaar - "much more than just carrots". Lots of feeds and toys including the full range of Oxbow feeds and hays. Again mail order only but it's pretty straight forward.

Charnwoods do very good quality chinchilla pellets, which are the ones that we use for our chins.

Petlife International do vet bed and also sell the full Oxbow hay range, including Western Timothy and hay cakes. They do quite large sizes which are more economical.

Pets Plus has a good range of small animal products including the full range of Oxbow feeds and hays.

Bunny basics is another rabbit and guinea pig online store with lots of stuff, much of it suitable for chins and degus as well, some of which I haven't seen elsewhere. Also sell Megazorb.

Galen's Garden - do an interesting range of herbs and natural pet health products.

Gorgeous Guineas - essential oil soaks and shampoos for guinea pigs with skin problems.

The Cardboard Guy - does a range of mail order cardboard hideouts for pets.

Joy's Toys - an excellent range of safe parrot and small animal wooden chew toys.

Live foods direct and Livefoods UK do mealworms, wax worms and other live foods. A number of bird food stores also stock them, along with a range of wild bird food. Try: CJ Wild Bird Foods, Wiggly Wigglers, Haiths and Garden Bird Supplies

Other

 CJ Pet Products are the manufacturers of a range of pet chew toys (including the Fun Tunnel and Fun Flip) and pet bedding. This is their home page but they do have a list of suppliers.

The Pet Company stock Carefresh and 100% Green Hemp bedding as well as Chubes and other toys for small animals. I have made one order from this site and it turned up promptly.

Squeaky Pigs Rescue has a great site with an online shop for piggie gifts. Really worth a visit if you like guinea pigs.

Little Chinta - Chinchilla and small animal supplies.

Pet Planet They have Wodent Wheels for sale in the small animal toys section. They also stock Carefresh bedding. I have ordered bedding and Wodent Wheels form this site and, once again, turned up promptly.

AI Pet Stop This has a small animals section with a very limited selection of stuff, but it does sell the chinchilla cages that I now keep the Degus in for a very reasonable price along with the larger size that is suitable for chinchillas. They also have a large selection of indoor aviaries that could be converted into Chinchilla cages, including some that look almost identical to Fluffs cage. Also of interest are the Cat Play stations which would be great for chinchillas if you have the space. I'm still saving for one for Fluff and Spike. It has a good selection of rotastack but no bird toys.

Bedding

 Megazorb - my favourite small animal bedding as reviewed on my Bedding page. They have a list of local suppliers on the page, and it is worth checking to see if they do mail order at present. Bunnymail does mail order although it's a bit more expensive than picking it up yourself.

Earthly Enterprises are the new suppliers of Ecobed/Ideal pet bed reviewed on the Bedding page. I drive down and pick up my bedding, but I believe they do deliver (although it costs).
