I Love Happy Endings

I had a lovely email from Anna at the Wheek & Squeek Guinea Pig Rescue last week to let me know how much the recent HH Donation had helped her and the Piggies.

I thought it only fair to share the good news with you guys as without your generous orders for hammocks we wouldn’t have had the funds to send in the first place, so a big thank you from me too – keep ‘em coming!

Anna’s Email is below, and since then I’ve had a further update to let me know that Billy has a new Human lined up, which is great news for Billy but bad news for me as I was busy dusting off a cage at Hammocky HQ!

Hi Sarah

I had four boars neutered yesterday who had been here a for some time. With your generous donations they will now have a chance of finding a friend and a home of their own.

Thank you Sarah your donations help us so much. This is Billy, one of the boars neutered, who will now be able to have a lady friend.

Many many thanks
Anna

Billy

Isn’t Billy scrummy? I love a happy ending :) :)

If you can offer a Piggy a home in the Hampshire area, please do get in touch with Anna as although Billy has found himself a new human, Anna has many other Piggies who are still looking for their forever home. Anna can be contacted via her website – Wheek & Squeek Guinea Pig Rescue, Boarding and Retirement Home

!New! Can Cozees

Available To Buy Now – Click Here

The funkiest way to keep your Critters Cooool during this ridiculously hot weather!

I’ve just made a mini mountain of Can Cozees for all of you who freeze tins of veg to use as safe ice blocks for your small animals, and these will be available to buy from Friday.

The Can Cozees brighten up the cage or run, make the cans a lot more snuggly whilst remaining cool, but not so cold that they are likely to induce pneumonia, and of course as they are made out of Fleece they prevent any condensation escaping, so no more soggy Critters!

If you are unfamiliar with this concept, read on!

We all panic about our Furry Friends as the weather heats up and it can be a real nightmare finding suitable cooling options for them. One of the best ways of creating a cool spot in the cage, without worrying about them chewing through plastic ice blocks or bottles, is to freeze tins of veg. It works out much cheaper than buying ice blocks, and as they are metal they are much safer than putting gel filled plastic anything in the cage with the animals with the big teeth!

This works really well and unlike large plastic bottles the tins are a much more Chin or Pig Friendly size.

  1. Buy lots of El Cheapo Beans (or anything else cheap so long as the tins contents are quite dense)
  2. Remove paper labels and glue remnants from your tins
  3. Stick as many tins as you can into your Freezer
  4. Wait for them to freeze until solid (leave overnight)
  5. Pop the freshly frozen tin in one of our Funky Can Cozees
  6. As soon as a can is losing it’s cool, you can just stick it back in the Freezer and replace with a fresh one as these can be repeatedly refrozen

You can put the tin cans straight into the cage without anything on them as they are perfectly Critter proof but you might find that the your Furry Friends aren’t that interested and those that are are likely to get a bit soggy from the condensation.

And whilst I’m discussing cool new ideas, keep an eye out for our latest cool new product – currently referred to as Project Shush, more news available later this week

Moo Hammocks Available From Pampered Piggies

Even More Choice!

Our new stock has *finally* turned up and we are now able to offer a wider choice of Fleece to those of you who have been begging us to supply our Fleece by the metre for Piggy Bedding!

We currently carry 10 – 15 designs (on rotation) in the store, starting at just £7.00 a metre - including postage which is a pretty good price, even if we do say so ourselves!

Don’t be put off by the low price! We take Small Animals comfort very seriously (almost too seriously sometimes!) and as such we won’t sell any old rubbish!!

  • Our Fleece is top quality and Anti Pil, meaning it doesn’t bobble in the wash like cheaper lightweight fleeces can.
  • It’s 360+gsm, which means is a good weight for Piggy Bedding because it’s dense enough to offer both comfort and Nappytastic damp control (in conjunction with a suitable soaker layer)
  • Each and every Fleece is 150cm wide and can be washed safely at 40 degrees.
  • It won’t fade in the wash either so even after years of use it will still look as bright as the day you bought it!

If you are after oodles of metre-age then please get in touch before you click on the Buy Me! button as we may be able to offer a discount due to reduced postal charges for packages over a certain weight :)
