Guinea Pig items on Dragons Den next week

[worried val of york]

I just watched Dragons Den last night. There was a short preview on next weeks programme which shows an item on guinea pigs toys. It might be worth viewing next Wednesday 28/4/21 at 8pm BBC 1 as guinea pigs are rare topics on TV.

Oooh ill have to try and remember to watch that I hope it's something good like an appropriately sized cage or a device that makes nail cutting easier. Spud hopes it's pellets and gundhams hoping it's a mind controll device that piggies can use to make their humans give them more veg.

Just set the Recorder so I wouldn’t miss it.
It’s Thursday 29th though - not Wednesday 28th.

Thanks for the heads up

Ooh yes it looked like the Hay Pigs people.....

Was Ringmaster Rik in full costume?

Yes, I just caught the ending and they popped up, instantly recognisable isn't it their piggie circus range?!

It's more than likely, there are some new ideas too, I think.

I am glad someone is more aware of what day of the week it is @Merab's Slave . I blame retirement and Covid restrictions for loss of sense of time and dates.

It was only because it wasn’t there when I tried to set the recorder for Wednesday

I have double checked and today is Thursday 29/4/21 and Dragons Den is on BBC1 8pm.
So the guinea pig item should be on today. I hope its not one of those fleeting cases that just gets a mention and the Dragons dismiss it outright.

Hamsters!! The dragons called them hamsters! Noooooo

 

[alpacasqueak]

Damn I forgot that was on!

I think the guinea pigs must have been on a separate episode as it only showed a clip from a previous show?

 

[worried val of york]

No they were on for a short time. Peter Jones couldn't remember if his family had had guinea pig. It was the couple who run Hay Pigs. The dragons did not invest as they couldn't see the potential in big sales. Its a shame because the young couple who began Hay Pigs are dedicated to guinea pigs and deserved better. But Debra Meaden did acknowledge they made a lot of guinea pigs very happy. But the ultimate insult was calling the guinea pigs hamsters, unforgiveable.

I sat and watched it waiting for a good case, but it was as you was hoping it wouldn't be. Especially considering the case before them. Hopefully this will be one of those ones that come back to bite them in the future.
As for calling them hamsters.... the less said the better!

Might have money them dragons but how thick to call piggies . . Hampsters

 

[worried val of york]

It just goes to show how little knowledge the general public has about guinea pigs. The poor couple must have spent ages bringing their guinea pigs and setting up there display for the dragons just to dismiss their pitch so quickly. I did think Debra Meaden may have taken a bit more interest as she is the dragon who also likes animals. I just hope the couple from Hay Pig's short appearance generates a bit of publicity about what they sell to enrich guinea pigs lives.

The Hay Pigs couple said on Instagram that they actually spent about an hour talking to the dragons and got loads of valuable advice which is already improving their business, and they had a really enjoyable time. Shame we only get to see 3 minutes of it!
