    Hi Guys!

    I recently found out that one of my Campbell's Dwarf Hamsters is Diabetic. It's been recommended that I get a certain brand of hamster food, Harry Hamster (by Supreme) as this brand has no added sugar, and the bits of fruit, corn, peas etc. that a diabetic can't have can easily be picked out from this mixture. Well I've walked Cork City and none of the pet shops I've been in has it, or is willing to order it. I've also done an internet search, can't be gotten on either of the two Irish online petshops and some customs thing means I can't order it internationally, so I'm stumped...

    If anyone knows of anywhere I could get this food (I'll travel the length and breadth of the country for my lil guy if I have to), or if anyone with experience with diabetic hamsters can suggest an alternative it'd be very much appreciated. Also, since this is my first time looking after a diabetic hammie any other advice/ useful tips would really help... Thanks :)

    I think Petstop Superstore in Blanchardstown have it but you'd have to ring them and ask them. Though i'll just warn u they are useless for any other information about animals.
