And with the ramekins, if you've got some already that fit, that's great. If not, you'll need to take your cup attachments to the ramekin store to be sure you get ones that fit. They are all slightly different sizes.
I had some already that worked perfectly in the 10oz sized attachments. I had to try a few different sizes to fit the 5oz ones. The 5oz ones are great. Nice and small, so they don't take up much room in the cage.

Thanks stace. Putting the bowl lower would definitely stop Melman perching on it as he always stays at the top of the cage. Such a simple idea that I never even thought of! I'll wait until the weekend before moving it so I can keep an eye on him and make sure he still eats from it when it's lower. He doesn't like change lol. Then if all goes well, I'll try the ramekins.

Oh dear, sorry to hear of the mishap. It could put Melman back a bit. I think it would upset me if I went to eat and the chair collapsed, seriously.

Oh no! What a pain. I'm sure Melman isn't that hefty. It's a hassle having order things from so many different places online, as the postal charges really start to add up.

If anything, he's a bit skinny! One site I looked at this morning had the silo feeders for only £2.75 each which is fantastic but the delivery to non mainland uk is £20!! I could get a cheap last minute flight over and pick them up myself for that price lol

Someone somewhere is laughing their head off at being able to charge this much.

I don't know how much postage is normally from here to you? It sounds more expensive than posting to the US. if you are able to work out how much, and have it sent to me, I will post it to you and we can sort costs.

Awk thank you so so much for the offer, thats so sweet of you but i couldn't let you go to all that effort. I'll just keep looking. That was just one example of delivery costs, I'm sure I'll find one cheaper! It just takes a bit of searching I have a few friends on the mainland that will be coming home for Christmas so if I get stuck I can always get it sent to them to bring with them. Really appreciate the offer though! Thank u xo

It's disgusting, especially when it doesn't actually cost a single penny extra to post to here as we're part of the uk!! Just another opportunity to make more money
