Hi,
Does anybody have packaging boxes ( not banana boxes) ? I thought I would ask before I go and purchase them.
Thanks.

Paper Shredding
I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.
Just let me know if you want some.
