Starting a family

Hmm not sure per month.
£15 for a 15kg bag of one sort of food - lasts about 6-10 months.
£10 for nuggets which get mixed in - lasts about 4-5 months.
I also add in dried pasta but as I buy that for home too I'm not sure how much goes in.
Bedding is about £6-£7 for a bale of chopped cardboard which lasts forever, £3 a bag for carefresh which lasts 4ish weeks and newspaper which I pinch from anyone that'll give it to me.
Cleaning wise I use cheap clear vinegar mixed with water and tesco value loo rolls so that is next to nothing.
Fresh fruit/veg/other foods I probably spend £5 a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.
Treats I stock up on every few months and probably spend £10-£15 a time but this isn't essential.
Toys and hammocks and cage "furniture" get replaced as and when needed but its amazing what you can get from cheap and charity shops.

Can't think of much else (other than vet visits)
