Hi everyone,
I launched an online pet boutique early this year, and the mission is to sell products that promote the mental and physical well-being of pets. In order to not compete with Petco, Petsmart, Amazon, etc. I am always looking for high-quality, locally-made stuff. Having said that, I haven't had much success finding the best products for small pets or birds. So what I have in my shop currently is just commodity stuff that you can find for cheaper at the larger retailers.
I've been lurking here and in some other small pet forums and it seems to me that people just don't want to spend much money on things for the little ones. Or put another way, rather than buying a nice, large hutch, people are more inclined to build their own or buy a hand-me-down one. Is that a correct perception?
Another question: are there any products (toys or habitat items) that you really want for your buns but have trouble finding anywhere? If you can give me some leads, maybe I can find them and then have better offerings in my shop.
Thoughts, opinions?
