    looks like woolworths also have the car and garage in stock

    The car / garage is quite readily available at serveral places online. I think out of all the add ons, it is the least favourite.

    I went to pick up the hamsters I'd ordered on wilkinsonplus.com (they are 9.97 and if you chose delivery to your local store, there's no postage cost) and when I asked the customer services lady if she had any other go go hamster accessories / add ons in stock in the store, she admitted she had never even heard of them and that they didn't stock them in the shop. So it must be a bit like Sainsburys, only some shops have the stock. That was the Gateshead branch, which is quite a big store. The wilkinsons website only has the hamsters on, so again it appears to be just what particular shops have chosen to stock.:confused: of course, since posting this info a couple of days ago on here, they're now out of stock of the hamsters online but its worth checking every so often in case they get more online and you are wanting to get a hamster without postage delivered to your local wilkinson's store.

    It's also worth checking the store yourself .When I went into my local Wilkies and asked, they also had never heard of them and said they hadn't stocked them but while I was wandering around the store I found the shelf with hamsters and other bits on it. They seem to have had another order in and are well stocked in most things except for the bedding and carriers.

    Costco, the wholesale warehouse, in Gateshead doesn't sell hamster stuff either. I rang them to ask and the lady told me she couldn't answer product enquiries from someone who didn't have a Costco membership number. Ok no probs I said, she then said, "well what exactly are these hamster things just in case someone else rings asking about them". Ha, ha, I think that answered my query!

    What's the name of the pink hamster? I can't find it. Did see some gorgeous little baby hamsters which come with their own sleeping bag and sling for the go gos to carry them around, but they don't ship internationally.Shame I can't sew, could be a very good business before Xmas!

    This morning there was someone on e-bay (from usa) selling a set of new hamsters (not avallable in the uk), one was pink, one was dark brown with an acorn on its back (i think), one was a pale colour and the other one was white with patches of black. They have now gone (sold out), the price for the 4 was 60 pounds + postage from US.

    I've been so obsessed with hamsters lately , my days have revolved around hunting them down , I just presume everyone knows what they are and am shocked when I realise people have never heard of them:p
