I bought some brown paper bags from Aunty Sally's website not so long ago and one of my piggies has become very very attached to them. rolleyes If he's not in it, he's behind it or on top of it or dragging it around...

Anyway needless to say I only bought about 5 and I've now run out. I felt awful taking the last one out of his hutch today but it was a little soggy. My last order from Aunty Sally was for a few items but since I only really want the paper bags this time I don't want to shell out for the flat rate shipping fee. Does anyone else here sell them or know of a supplier who does? Or if anyone else was placing an order with Aunty Sally and could add them in for me, then send them on, that'd be brilliant.
 
Hello - just a thought but primark use paper bags...maybe you could just buy a pair of socks/hair accessory every now and again to get the bag?! :)):)):))

Or maybe that would be too much of a pain, especially if you don't live near by?! Hopefully someone else here might be ordering :)
 
also, on the same note as above, places like holland and barrett and other health shops sell things in paper bags and so do coffee shops, keep your eyes peeled!
 
My piggies love shoe boxes - esp the ones with the hinged lids at the back. They climb in and hide with the lid down. I'm crawling round shoe shops asking for them - everyone thinks I'm bonkers....
 
if they're just regular paper lunch bags, i think you can get them at the grocery store or a dollar store. (: I found some at the grocery store for free yesterday. They were supposed to be to used to put doughnuts in but i snuck like 3 extra one, for when i get my piggies. :D
 
Some excellent ideas - thanks everyone! I don't really go in Primark so often but I do go to Holland & Barrett so maybe I will have to start asking for bags. Might order some from Ebay too and just cut the handles off. I'm a bit addicted to Ebay but when I searched all I could find was flimsy bags like the ones you used to buy penny sweets in!

Most of the piggies enjoyed playing in the paper bags but Nemo took it to another level. He's a special pig! :red
 
If we run out we use the free mushroom brown paper bags you get from the supermarket! Not as robust but a piggie can get in and play! xx
 
Get your veg from a green grocer...it's fresher, more variety, usually cheaper...and you get brown paper bags!
 
Posiesparkles- I'm glad to know somebody else out there takes those mushroom bags! I grab a nice handful and put them in the trolley, luckily nobody on the till seems to mind...imagine getting hauled away by security because of your pigs :))

Homebase used to have paper bags. A friend of mine once bought a tiny modelling paint brush from there and took about eight bags to go with it. The lady on the till wasn't impressed at all ;)

The holland & Barrett in my town only uses paper bags now, think it's cos more places are trying to be greener...
