Hamster food in bulk

Hi

I'm looking for somewhere that sells hamster food in bulk for fairly cheap and was wondering if anyone could suggest anywhere online?

I've looked at loads of places and the cheapest I've found with delivery is about £20/15kg which works out the same as what I pay in our local pet shop. I buy my rabbit food from the pet warehouse which is really cheap but they don't do hamster food in the same quantities :(

Any help would be fab!

Thanks x

    Unless you have dozens of hamsters, it is false economy to buy in such bulk. The food will go off and lose its vitamin content long before you use it up. Only buy 4 - 6 weeks at a time and use it fresh

    I have 4. I'm not neccessarily looking to buy 15kg just a bigger quantity than 1kg a time. The food doesn't go off as I keep it sealed.

    Have you tried Wilkinsons the shop? I havent bought hamster food for years, but I remember it always being very reasonably priced in there - maybe cheaper than ordering in bulk/online.

    Wilkos is quite expensive per kg and its not great food, my hammys dont seem to like it. I've solved the problem, managed to get some on offer at the pet warehouse by chance! Thanks for your help guys x
