Naturals Apple Orchard??

[RoboHammyLover]

NO. just hell no.

i was exited to try a different forage out with hope (giving the apple bits as treats every so often)
i opened the pack and poured it into a container to try and shake all the bits together i stuck my hand in to sprinkle it into her enclosure.. and i found out that it was not bramble LEAVES that they put in the mic it was bramble stems with the spikes on and it got stuck in my finger!
i could only imagine what would happen if my hope baby tried to pouch it

Oh dear, that's worrying- all of the reviews mention the same issue too.

I wish I was in the uk haha. You all have such better options for hamster supplies than we do!

I know- we're really fortunate to be honest, and Pets at Home (the main chain pet supplies shop) has started selling many more natural products over the past two years or so.
It's still not perfect, and I'd rather live in Germany, but at least it's possible to walk into a shop and buy suitable products instead of having to buy everything online.

yes you just have to be careful with what you buy there and make sure its okay

i was in there the other day, enjoy a collection of my thoughts;

-"aw hi babbbyyyy, awwww" *does stress behaviour* "oh baby.."
- "whhhyyyyy" ,
- "bedding depth?" ,
-"No! that child's getting a hamster ball! aaaaaah!! what do i say!!!"
-*looks in the hamster care info sheet* "ah yes this is actually right....." *looks over the next page, picture of small ass hamster cage* "NOO why! so close yet so far "
- "ooh a good hamster toy!"
- "this has wood shavings, yet displays as edible..."
- "why is their Christmas collection purples and blues? isn't classic colours red and green.. what"
- "oh nice a whole row of natural actual good supplies!"
- " why isnt there more sprays"
- "oop" *a bag of bedding clearly been eating by some animal* "someone got out and had a snack, but why bedding surly not go to one of the treats?"

That's terrible that it had thorns in it! And not just an isolated case either judging by the reviews.

I think I've bought the Apple Orchard myself in the past and didn't notice any issues but a lot of brands seem to be having problems with quality control at the moment.

Yikes! Thanks for the heads up about that brand
