New Products and Projects

Another Friday is here already. It has been a really busy week here at R and R. On Monday I traveled up to Sandown park for PATS trade show, where suppliers, manufactures and industry professionals all get together to network, show off new products and ideas and make orders.
Its a great way to see whats going on in the pet world as a trader. I also get to catch up, all be it briefly with reps from companies that I don't get to see much of now.
There were a few products that really caught me eye and whilst I don't have pictures of them all to share just yet, I'm pretty sure that once you see them in use you will love them:

• Oat grass pots for pets- you may have seen theses in grow it own tubs, I've used them before with varying success but these pot are grown just down the road from me here, at Vitacress in Runcton! In fact I remember a year or so ago when they first started to grow them and gave me a load of pots to try! These are great and will get there own post soon!
• Beco pets silicone pet bowl mats - I've ordered one to try out and I'll let you know what I think!
• 5 litre wild bird food tubs - so I've ordered peanuts and seed in these tubs with handles, which I think will make it much easier and cleaner to store wild bird food
  

Projects in the pipeline.

So I have a few projects currently in the pipeline for R and R, the one I want to talk about is the refurbishment and build of a multi level hutch and run for my male guinea pigs. Since Donatello passed away, it has been painfully obvious how much Raphael is missing his friend. I also have 2 other single male guinea pigs and another single boy, who comes on his holidays with us who lost his friend and is lonely too. The plan is to build a hutch and run that they can all live together in but have plenty of room and hidey holes if they want some space. I have had a few people tell me that Male guinea pigs can't live together, that they will fight to the death! But it has been my experience that it really depends on the piggies themselves, they are all unique and whilst I'm not 100% sure that it will work as I have planned ( it rarely does) I do know that I would rather give them the opportunity for companionship then not try at all and let them spend the rest of their lives on their own.
