Review: Lords & Labradors plus Purina One Kitten/Junior Food Chicken and Whole Grain 3KG

I have several hedgehog houses (with residents) in my back garden and I have cared for them for several years, putting fresh water and food out, taking them for treatment when needed and providing shelter: I and they were disappointed when Tesco stopped making their Kitten chicken dry food and replaced it with a new and supposedly improved variant where cereals rather than chicken is the main ingredient- no good for hedgies or kittens. Several hedgehog rescues suggested Purina Kitten Chicken dry food as a great alternative which Horace and co love. The pieces are small and fit in their weirdly shaped mouths and the bowls are always clean.  It is, however, relatively expensive compared to the 79p boxes of Tesco food. A 800g Purina bag costs around £5 and a 3kg bag between £13-15. My hedgies get through 2 of the 3 kg bags a month so I am always looking for special offers.

Lords & Labradors is a website that sells dog, cat and wild bird related items including food. They sell the 3kg bags for £9.99 plus postage £5.47 with DHL who I find provide a great service. My kitten food was delivered within a week and the packaging was great ( I have already used the cardboard box as storage for Christmas decorations). The website is easy to navigate, I didn’t get swamped with choices, their selections are pared  down  and easy to scroll through and the loyalty points scheme looks great value. I shall definitely keep using them for my kitten/ hedgehog food and I do fancy getting the Peckish Secret Garden Dual Feeder for my birds. 

I purchased this item myself and the views expressed in my blog are my own.

  1. That's great that you're giving nature a hand by providing homes and food to local wildlife. How do you stop foxes or rats from stealing the food for the hedgehogs?
