abwsco Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Was just wondering what everyone pays and if it varies a lot around the country. I've found 2 places selling hemcore. One is £7.95 and the other is £8.46. The cheapest place for hemcore also sells aubiose and they said that is going up to over £10!! It also might be time to stock up if you've got the room.

Sandychick Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Mine was £7.50 two weeks ago from Romsley near Brum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 It also might be time to stock up if you've got the room. Be careful though, I bought a shedload of Auboise to cut the delivery costs down and one bale must have had a hole in the bag because some of it went mouldy Had to chuck it.

Peachy77 Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 How long does the bag last - we have a cube and 1 extension. Also how often do people change it? Thinking of putting this in ours once the grass is ruined! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure as mine have already eaten everything in their run. mind you they don't spend long in it anyway There really is a price difference isn't there around the country so far!

Shirl Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Hemcore has gone upt to about £7.50. Before the factory move it was about a £1 cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogdickinson Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I was thinking of using auboise, but reading the prices I think I'll stick with my shredded bank statements, junk mail and other suitable documents for them to rest their backsides on. Not only does it work, but it's free and ultimately makes great compost. Furthermore there's a constant fresh supply, so no storage problems and no chance of it going mouldy. I clean the nest (or should I say bedroom) daily. It takes a good handful which is about as much as the postman delivers! Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joojoo Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) I paid £6 something for my latest bale last week. That was from Wynnstay Farmers in Shropshire. edited to say: The above price is for hemcore. I'm not sure how much the Aubiose is.

Lovemychooks Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I pay £7.90 for a bag of Aubiose and the annoying thing is is that the bags have got smaller, yet they charge more for the smaller bag than they did the bigger bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruth1 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yeah £9.50 for me to, I have to head towards Edinburgh for mine as I cant get it at my usual supplier down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfrock Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 we have never paid less than £8 for aubiose and that is since April '07. It is now just shy of £9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 £7.60 for a bale of hemcore here. It is now much softer and fluffier than it was before - definitely an imrpvement and no massive change in price (yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
