So... Munch had plastic seed and pellet dishes that hung up on the side of the cage. BUT, she started chewing them up and we worried she'd accidentally eat the plastic bits that she dropped inside her food. So we had to get her new dishes.
We don't drive, nor do we generally shop at petsmart if we can help it (the one I went to was actually pretty good, so I was impressed and would have no problems going back to that one). But we had to get the dishes, and I could not find the specific ones I needed online anywhere.
Munch needs very special ones. She needs the following:
Food dishes she cannot destroy.
Food dishes she cannot tip over or dump.
Food dishes small enough that she cannot go inside and nest inside.
This really limits my choices.
BUT, we found something similar online on petsmart's website that looked like it would work. However, upon getting to the store, they did not have it.
I biked 18 km that day to get these dishes, and luckily they had something even better than the ones I was first looking at.
I took photos of everything, because I'm weird like that lol
The bike ride (photos taken off my 3DS mobile):
the last photo there is a very tiny gap, thats the walk/bike path on this very busy street D: it's only the width of the length of my arm, and I had to bike through that twice!! Very scary lol but, I did it.
And the photos of the old dish:
and the new awesome dishes that she loves so much!
we needed zip ties to secure the holders on the back of the holders so that she could not remove them from the cage walls lol
filled up her dishes (one for seed, one for her pellets)
and she LOVES them!!
She's even eating more of her pellets! Before, she'd only eat a bit of them once a week, and now she is at her pellet dish a couple times a day. I'm so excited that she loves them so much, it made their expensive price so worth it!
