I have 2 dogs a rabbit and 2 rats as well as 2 dd's and it is costing too much money. I seem to spend more money on my animals than I do on my kids (just seems like that). Does anyone know of a good site where I can get cheap pet supplies?? Any advice helpful. Thank you

Dont know about websites, but my pet shop lets me order a huge big bag of rat food for £16 and if i was to buy it in the little bags that they bag it up in to it would cost over £30. So maybe try that for the rabbits and the dogs dry food?

For the rats, why not just unleash them in a sewer when they're feeling peckish? Or drop them in a close up the toon and they'll be fine.

yes it is
Are there any of those pet food stores that you find down country roads near you?

How about a lovely landfill? Or a rubbish heap?

Have you got any skips about?

we get rabbit food/hay from the nursery, they do lots of animal foods, it works out quite cheap

explain....I assume you are not a rat lover. They are lovely wee creatures and I wouldnt part with them. Each to their own though I appreciate that they are not for everyone.

Hiya, asleep on the table???? Mine are safely in their cage for now, I had 3 but now only have two and one of them is a biter. The other one (the oldest) is lovely though, she likes a cuddle and really likes to much on Cherios. Do you let your rats run about then??

He doesnt seem to bothered, he must get the mick took out of him from other cats as we have a huge big cage outside in the garden...I can just imagine other cats taking the mick about his housemates LOL
