It's only an idea for now. Comments would be very welcomed :)
Am thinking of starting to make up and sell baskets with piggy treats in.
A wicker basket with timothy hay on the bottom and a selection of treats (natural) . Will add photos in a bit.
Would anyone or do you think you might be interested?
£4.00 each including p & p ?

Sounds like a great idea Kelly, would be perfect for the kids to buy for small presents for parents, each other or mother's day without having to spend a fortune. I would love to get a useful piggy gift.

Trouble is with ebay all of the costs/expenses involved that they take from you :( I would have to up the prices of the baskets in order to actually make some money from them :(

The treats, yes cos they are suitable for both - not all - but if you say it's just for a bunny etc, I will only put in treats suitable :)
Duck ones LOL I only got a couple as I weren't too sure on them :-\

kelly you really ought to consider putting them on ebay. You don't have to accept Paypal and you just add on the fee that ebay charges. Those baskets are just so lovely, they really need to be shown to a wider audience. There's a thing called nochex that you can use which is simialer to paypal but I don't think it charges or something.
have you thought of putting an ad in the window of the local pet shop?
