We recently started fostering small rodents for a local rescue group (PAWSS) and currently have 5 multimammate mice, 3 hamsters 4 gerbils and it looks like we're getting several more gerbils for a permanent foster in the next day or so.

Up until now we've been buying standard sized bags of hamster food from the local pet shop.... they make up the bags themselves...but we're getting through it so quickly now that I need to try and get a couple of big bags to keep us going for a while.

Does anyone know where I would be able to get large 15kg+ bags of decent quality hamster/gerbil food from? Preferably online since I don't drive.

I have tried searching Google, but my internet is running ridiculously slow (Bloody AOL) so I can't get any results up.

Can you ask the petshop to sell you a big bag of the stuff they make up the smaller bags from?
Explain things and im sure they would be willing to help out.

Good on you by the way for fostering all those furry ones!

The cheapest I could find it.

Brilliant thanks Williams, I can order my dog's food from there too.

I tried to get back on here last night to respond but our internet completely died (I shall resist an AOL rant since they were very helpful for once)

We did ask at the pet shop about getting a couple of big bags made up, but they were going to charge us almost £30 a bag.

I have just cleaned my gerbils' cage (Peppa and Fifi) - and thought I'd look in pets forum for general info, I guess.

My gerbs eat so much it is shocking! Ever since I bought 'Hamster Gerbil Mouse Munch' by 'Wagg' from Wilkinson - their intake has doubled, easily. I wonder if all gerbils will love it?
