HI,
I'm trying to get hold of some rat fluffs for my baby royal but struggling to find any locally. I know BE(I think) recommended 888 but their delivery is a bit of a wait, I found petclubuk who sell them and it is free delivery on all orders over £29.99. Has anyone used them or heard anything about them?
cheers

Just tried placing a pretend order and frozen food is exempt from the offer of free delivery. 10 pack of fluffs 13.50 with delivery 9.99.

| Just checked on 888 and I've misread. I thought next day delivery was £25 but that is livestock courier before noon. Will next day delivery be ok to my work from 888? I'll be there 8 - 5 ish |

where abouts are you?
tsm offer next day delivery before 12noon but even then some of my order is starting to feel soft so would have to be put in a freezer as soon as you get it at work if that is possible |

| I'm in Durham. Couldn't see any Rat Fluffs on TSM. Will look again. HA HA... in the freezer at work would be hilarious. Actually, I think there may be H&S implications for keeping Rats in A school kitchen freezer. |

that would be funny. they dont have them on the website but if you ring them up they will pick out what they call small weaners starting at around 25grams |

| 25g will be too big. I need something around 12 -15g. He's on rat pups at the moment but they aren't filling him at all. Hungry again after a day and a half. I'll weigh him again tomorrow. Was about 90g a month ago and has had six feeds since then. |

| TSM deliver before 10 now, but I don't think they do Fluffs, plus its £125 before its free delivery. |

Yeah I asked one and they said they don't. They feed their royals on mice after rat pups, then small weaners. Another shop said they could get hold of some but I need to ring back tomorrow and speak to the blokes wife  |

In case it helps, some shops will sell Rat Fuzzies (inbetween Pups and Fluffs). I would go with a couple of Pups for now.
TSM's normal delivery is £12, £7 if over £75, free if over £125. Even though they don't have fluffs listed on their site, they are very friendly and if you ring them they may be able to help. |

| Thanks for your help. A local shop called me back today and said she would order some in for me. It'll take a week so I'll give him two rat pups tonight then wait for fluffs. |

| Just fed him two pups. Never seen him so keen... I left the pups on top of his tank for a couple of minutes, when I opened it he shot out of his hide desperate for food. He knew what was coming, bless him. |
