The Waterproof Blankee is Back!

… and even better than before!

There is nothing nicer than curling up on the sofa with a Piggy or other small furry relaxing on your lap … but when they relax a little too much it’s never pleasant!! This Blankee helps prevent any soggy little surprises they may have in store for you ;)

This gorgeous and practical Blankee has luxurious Polar Fleece on one side for your Furries comfort – and a waterproof, wipe clean backing the other for yours.

The Blankees are now available from our R2G range click here for more details

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 :)

Pampered Piggies – New Shop!!

Congratulations to Sally and all at Pampered Piggies on the opening of their new shop!  All that hard work has finally paid off and it looks Amazing!

I’ll hand over to PP now to tell you all about it …

Our New Shop is now OPEN!

Do you live in or near Surrey? Our new shop, next door to our Boarding Centre is now open every Saturday (excluding Saturday 20th June).

No appoinment is needed just turn up between 10am-5pm

We have lots of special offers in store which do not feature on the website and we also stock larger items like Megazorb and bales of Meadow Hay. Below is a photo of our huge selection of Rabbit and Piggy Cards also available in store.

Don’t worry if you can’t make a Saturday we are there most of the week but shopping at these times is by appointment only so do give us a call first just to make sure we are there, if Saturdays prove a hit then we will extend our opening times and days.

We are easy to find as we are just 2mins from the A3, if you would like directions do drop us an email or give Aunty Sally a call! Click here for Website and Contact details

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Just watch out for our security team in reception!

R2G Only – For A Few Weeks

As some of you will know, it’s been an incredibly stressful time here this last year – 18 months and although we’ve managed to work through most of it with only a few small delays, it is now time to take a much needed Holiday!

It might be that the more observant amongst you have noticed that the Hammocky Store has ever so slightly diminished over the last week or so. Don’t panic – it will all be back to normal soon, but in the meantime we have a smaller range of Ready Made Products on offer here this includes our Fleece by the metre

All existing orders are being processed as usual, so no need to worry if you are waiting on an order – it’s just that I’m not taking on any new custom orders so that once I’ve cleared the backlog I can take a week or two off to chill out and relax – the fact that that might happen to coincide with Wimbledon Fortnight is, I promise, purely coincidence ;)

Strawbs n Cream

A really pretty summer print – available from late June – early July.

Just in time for the Wimbledon finals (hopefully!)

An Email Conundrum

Have you ever tried to contact us and not received a response? I know there must be quite a few of you nodding because when we respond to your email we get bounced! And as the only means we have of contacting you is the email address you offer us that leaves us up a rather muddy creek sans paddle!

Why does this happen?

Simple.

Spam Filters.

This is something that is completely outside of our control and unfortunately there is nothing that we are able to do about it.

To get a better idea as to how Spam Filters work have a look at this eye opening article.

Due to the nature of the enquiries we receive, our responses are quite likely to make use of the so called ‘trigger’ words such as visit our website and information you requested etc.

However in an attempt to make things a bit easier for the customers out there that are feeling unloved and ignored I have compiled a list of the Mail Providers [below] that we have had particular problems with.

Hotmail
Gmail
Yahoo
BTinternet
TalkTalk
AOL
Any School / College / Gov / Work organisation
(these types of email usually have a localised Filter in place to stop you using your email for anything other than work / school /college (spoilsports!))

What can you do?

Not a lot! The obvious answer would be to change to a different email provider, however this isn’t the most practical solution for most!

Getting into the habit of checking your Spam / Bulk Mail folder on a regular basis might help but will only be  useful if our Email has got that far of course – your service provider might have binned us at Server level !!

When getting in touch with us, if using one of the above providers, it may also help to offer us an alternative email or means of contact.

Hopefully this article will help to explain a few things, especially for those of you have never heard back from us despite our best efforts!
