Pet supplies and livestock new in.

Pet supplies ranges continually change over time. We have new ranges and a lot of new livestock in for January. I have just spent two days putting new stock onto the system and the webstore and moving livestock round to make room for the new animals.

Hermanns tortoise

On Thursday we received new Yemen chameleons, marbled mantids and Hermann’s tortoises. On Friday we got in some lovely new Syrian hamsters (very tame), some new rats and gerbils. These are from a new breeder we are using for the first time and I must say that I am impressed with how well handled the animals all are. Normally it is down to us to tame them down when we first get them in but these ones are already there. We also carry a full range of pet supplies to suit these animals.

Every year, after the Christmas rush, I like to look at what is around and expand our range of pet supplies with new items. This year is no different and I have ordered new ranges again. The first of these is now in the shop and on the webstore. It was actually in two days ago but since it me who puts items on the system, it has taken this long to put out the pet supplies stock.

dog beds

New in the Happy Pet range of pet supplies are some nice dog beds form their “Tillie and Billie” line. I got these on a discount pet supplies deal so they have gone straight out on offer with up to over £12 off.

We have also expanded the range of dog rope toys following the success of the Happy Pet “Knotties” range we started last year. The New “Flossin Fun” rope toys are now available at great prices and joins a growing range of bargain pet supplies.

More toys are now on offer with the inclusion to our range of pet supplies of the new “Empty Nester” unstuffed toys and the return of the “Flat Liner” line.

cat bed

Happy Pet also carry the “Little Rascals” line of pet supplies. We have started to stock these too, beginning with some “Little Rascal” kitten teasers and “Little Rascals” Night Night beds for cats and small dogs.

For small animal pet supplies we have again increased the range with the inclusion of the small animal Play Ball in two sizes and the “Natural Playball” in a smaller size. We also have in some old favourites such as the small wood tunnel and “Playstix” that always remain popular and of course the Chinchilla Coco Fun toy that is as popular for parrots as it is for chinchillas.

In pet supplies for birds we have some more toys and ladders and the return of the Cozzzy Hut refuges for small and medium birds. We also have some new bird swings and of course we are always on the look out for new reasonably priced parrot toys so we have a new large wooden ladder/toy to add to our ever increasing range. We have also expanded the size range of the Happy Pet Branch perches. These excellent natural perches encourage natural behaviour and are available at very reasonable prices. The largest is only  £3.19. Webstore users also keep a look out for further expansion of this range in the coming weeks. We actually carry a lot more pet supplies than are currently on the site but I am gradually working my way through our stock and parrot toys are the next area for me to look at.

pet supplies

For reptile pet supplies we have strengthened our range with the expansion of the “Canopy” line of decor for the vivarium. The Jungle Canopy now sits alongside the popular Woodland and Rainforest Canopies. We have also included some new substrates for reptiles and invertebrates to compliment our existing range. The new Komodo Invertebed and Tortoise Eco Terrain sit alongside the existing Pro Rep Spider Life and Tortoise Life lines.

Angell Pets back online

Angell Pets webstore was offline for a few days over Christmas. This was due to technical issues over the transfer of the domain name from our old site to the newer webstore. It appears the job was only half done.

angell pets

After two days of phone calls, emails and banging my head on the desk (it seemed to help!) the Angell Pets webstore is back up and running. Unfortunately if anyone sent us any stock enquiries to info@angellpets.co.uk we would not have received them so I am afraid you will have to send them again or give us a call at the shop.

Sorry for any inconvenience whilst the Angell Pets site was down. Now it is back up you can shop, order and get delivery (FREE locally) of our huge (and growing) range of stock.

Just one more thing. If you can’t see what you want, it doesn’t mean we don’t stock it. It may just be that we haven’t yet got it onto the Angell Pets site. So call us and ask and you may find we can get it for you cheaper than you can get elsewhere.

Komodo product range discounts until the end of this year

Komodo products range has been discounted at the Angell Pets webstore until the end of 2013. All products in the Komodo range will receive this discount when ordered before 31/12/2013.

Komodo products carry a wide range of reptile, amphibian and invertebrate vivaria, accessories and foods. Their range of glass vivaria is wider and more versatile than the porpular Exo Terra range with a larger choice of styles and sizes.

Komodo products glass vivarium

 

Komoo products also produce some exellent complete foods for reptiles, such as the crested gecko diet and complete torotoise food range. Komodo have been working for years with retailers and owners to continue to improve this range.

Komod products tortoise food

 

Angell Pets online store can now offer a 10% discount, across the whole range of Komodo products until the end of this year, just in time for Christmas.

We now stock Komodo products for lighting, housing, feeding, decor and lots more. Although we have yet to get the whole product range onto our site (it’s only little old me doing the work so it takes a bit of time) it is growing weekly and if they make something we don’t currently show just give us a call, email or message on Facebook and we can get it in at the same fantastic discounted price for you.

The Komodo product range has had a huge revamp in recent times following the purchase of the brand by Happy Pet and continues to grow and improve, with new innovations and products regularly coming out. They have also been recruting new staff to the Komodo products team with years of experience in the hobby and trade to support us retailers and our customers.

Have a look at the ever expanding Komodo products range and grab a discount whilst you can at our Angell Pets webstore.

Exo Terra waterfall? Want to improve it?

Exo Terra waterfall in small to large. They work with a small pump that sits in the base of the assembly and pumps water to the top through a small hose that then runs down the face of the waterfall into the reservoir at the bottom where the pump sits. The medium and large versions aslo have a small reservoir half way down to take an optional fogger.

A few problems we have found using these Exo Terra waterfalls in our display vivs. include the reservoir running low through evaporation and the pump being very intolerant of running dry (they burn out quite quickly if the go dry), blockage of the pump from substrate or dead crickets etc. and the just awkwardness of the assembly to clean out leading to the water being left a little too long and going off. It really is just too much work to do every couple of days, especially if you have the Exo Terra waterfall in amongst a complex display viv.

Exo Terra Waterfall

 

A cheap, easy to install improvement can be made that drastically reduces the amount of cleaning required, improves the amount of water flow (the Exo Terra waterfall pump itself generates quite a low flow) without causing splashing all over the viv. and improves the quality of the water.

We replace the Exo Terra waterfall pump with a Superfish Aqua 50 filter pump. It is larger overall but still fits neatly into the reservoir or the Exo Terra water fall. It has a higher flow rate than the Exo Terra waterfall pump and has an very efficient cartridge filter. This will clean out and solids from the water in the Exo Terra waterfall and will allow nitrosomonas and  nitrobacter bacteria to grow in the filter membrane which will remove ammonia and nitrate (products of biological breakdown of waste) and keep the water clean and fresh for much longer, reducing the frequency of cleaning and improving the quality of the water available to your reptile to drink (we typically use them with chameleons, tokays, etc.). The pump in the Superfish Aqua 50 also has a higher tolerance to running dry than the Exo Terra waterfall pump (although this still is not to be recommended) and has an easy to change and inexpensive cartridge filter.

If you have and Exo Terra waterfall it is well worth giving this small improvement a go. Save yourself some work and improve the environment of your animal for very little cost.

Angell Pet new member of staff

Angell Pet has being going from strength to strength over the last four years. thanks to our loyal customers the business has continued to grow year on year. Obviously the work load has also been increasing. On top of this our Angell Pet apprentice finished last year and George is away for 12 months in the Indian ocean. So all this extra work, as well as the new website has been landing on yours truly.

I am pleased to announce that Angell Pet has a new member of staff starting tomorrow. My wife, Kim, who has been working in education, decided to take voluntary redundancy and was due to leave and come and work for us in December. She has noticed that the Angell Pet business has been taking up all of my time and so has managed to get the date bought forward and left her employment today.

Angell Pet will be benefitting from Kim’s retail experience starting tomorrow. This move will allow me to concentrate more on building the Angell Pet business further, focus on getting all of our existing range onto the website (we only have about 50% oi our extensive stock on the system so far) and expanding our range further. I can also look at offering some of our popular Angell Pet discounts on a more regular basis. I have noticed that this has slipped recently and this is entirel down to lack of time.

angell pet website

 

So, hopefully no more past midnight sessions on the computer putting on stock, doing accounts or ordering, or writing blogs on special offers or animal care articles (although I notice it is now 23:30 – maybe next week then!). That’s what the change means for me. For our Angell Pet customers it will mean more regular offers, more new items and innovations and a slicker more effective website.

So welcome to Kim as a full member of the team, I am looking forward to taking the Angell Pet business on to the next level with her help.

Pet shop Gloucester loyalty scheme relaunched

Pet shop Gloucester loyalty scheme has been relaunched today. We have updated to a new plastic scan card that integrates directly with our new Epos system and will be usuable with our new website when in launches in the next couple of weeks.

No more waiting at the till for me to find the card stamp and marker pen, just a quick scan and the points will be added to your account automatically. Register when you use the pet shop Gloucester website and points are added. The vouchers (automatically generated when points have accrued) can also be used on the website but more on that when it is launched.

There are some changes to the way points build up from the old pet shop Gloucester scheme. Spend  £1 and you get a point, each £1 spent gets another point (on the old scheme you didn’t get any points until you spent£10 and then no more until you spent £40 and then that was it). When you accrue 200 points you get a £5 voucher. Compare that to supermarket schemes!

Hopefully the changes will better reward the most loyal of our customers (it is a loyalty scheme after all) who have supported our pet shop Gloucester business as it has grown, as well as offering something to our more occassional customers.
