    They all work with everything. I could have got one of each of the 4 but decided to get 2 of the same each for my boys - saves the arguments later!!!

    Hope that van turns up without Pipsqueak but one of the others....

    That's a good point re the same hammie avoiding the later scraps over who plays with which one! Every cloud and all that...lol.

    Am glad that all the hammie work with everything. I will probably pick up the missing addons after xmas so great if pipsqueak can use them all! I still really want a car but refuse to pay ebay prices......

    Quick follow up to my message this morning re keyboard that came without adapter although the web site said for power :



    inferring that the adapter was included. I used their contact form to complain and ask for a refund of the adapter.

    The cheeky beggars have came back and said "No", because the website says :



    calling me mistaken even though I cut and pasted the text to them.

    They have only gone and changed their website after my complaint - stupid beggars. I still had the page live from this morning and have sent a screenprint back to them, calling them the cheats and asked for reimbursement for the adaptor as the product was described as coming with it and I shouldn't have to pay for their mistake.

    Between the TRU/PayPal carry on that they are unwilling to resolve and this blatant attempt to deceive, I don't know whether I could ever give TRU another penny of mine.

    :eek::eek::eek: Disgraceful!!!!
    Cost of this Hamster Hunt (inc postage):
    2 x Num Nums - £36.70, 1 x Chunk £13.50, 1 x Chunk £15.50, Slide £26.89, House £25.94, Car £14.99, Ball £9.99, Surfboard £9.99, Skateboard £9.99, Wheel £24.19 TOTAL:£187.68 :eek:

    A big thanks to you MSE'ers - especially Maximouse :A

    I can honestly say a lot of what has been happening on here lately has opened my eyes to the "honesty" of some retailers , quite shocking really :eek:

    That's terrible. I think TRU have been an absolute shambles recently. If you have a screenprint of the original listing then how can they dispute it :mad: Can you report them for it? :(
    Please remember to thank fellow MSE'rs :beer:

    I'm sure trading standards would be interested in this kind of behaviour

    I used to have Hammies and i can't remember. Water and hamster food from the petshop I think.....

    My little robo hammie eats bird seed as normal hamster food is large for her to hold onto!!! She can chew paper tubes and that though for bedding.

    Spelling mistakes wont matter on ebay if people just search Go Go Pets or Hamsters, but I hope you get some bargains :)

    I have all 4 hamsters but thought it would be helpful to post as there may be someone on here just looking for a Num nums....I'm well aware of how ebay works:D
