If you're looking for Coroplast in Germany:

they're called Polypropylenplatten.

I'll try and look if Obi & the like have them.

Wle312 / MacWheeker - thank you so much, I've been looking for coroplast locally and have been struggling. Gala is only a few hours drive from me, and my babies are more than worth it :)

I've been hunting for C&C grids for a few weeks now. They're not the easiest to find. I've ordered some from http://www.wayfair.co.uk/

They end up slightly cheaper than the ones on amazon once you take P&P into account.

I also found a local sign shop that has 4' by 8' sheets of 4mm coroplast (I've now got one on order, due to arrive in a week or so).

Yep that's as good a price as I've seen in the UK. Thanks for the info.

B&M homestores - what a shop!

Sherpa fleece pet mats - £3.99 (I'm making one into beds for the girls)

Puppy pads 30 pack - £4.99

Microfibre pet towels - £1.49 (supposed to be better for drying, we've yet to try them)

And, for anyone who buys halo pet wash - Paragon Flea and Mite detergent, £1.99 a bottle. It's antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal, and made by the same people who make halo pet wash.

I can't remember off the top of my head how much I paid for a bottle of halo pet wash, but it was a lot more than £1.99.

I've been hunting and hunting for a good quality timothy pellet here in the UK. I was thinking of shipping in some KMS, until I found this.

I was serching for dried veg when I stumbeld upon the pellets. A bit more pricey than the commercial brand pellets, but a massive saving on shipping fees for KMS.

I've been exchanging emails with them. The pellets are 100% timothy hay, so ideal for pigs with calcium issues. We're sending for some today, and will let you know the verdict when they arrive.

There are no vitamin and mineral supplements added to their pellets?

Unfortunately not. When I asked about it, their pellets were designed with handfeeding in mind, to be able to mix with CC to add more fibre, not as a regular complimentary feed.

However, with the problems we've had with Calcium, and the results from cutting pellets in the girls' diets, it's certainly an alternative to no pellets at all. My girls are getting awfully grumpy from the lack of dried food. If looks could kill, I'd be in a hay baler about now.

The link above will get you 30 C&C Cage grids for £35 quid in mainland UK at the moment. £6.99 more for people on Northern Ireland and outlying areas.
Literally just ordered some. Thought I'd throw it up here while it's around.

Just a quick note to say today I was sent an extensive listing of UK rescues. I alphabetized it and tried to add a listing of locations to help people find a rescue near them. A few rescues did not add a location so I don't know where they are.

Here's the new list!

People on The Guinea Pig Forum worked on this and want to get the word out so more people will adopt.
