Tesco's value rabbit hutches :(

Yes, sorry, I didn't explain properly!

The £16 is being sold actually in the stores (it was the only cage I saw - didn't see any hutches on the shelves) so I can see this tiny cage selling far more, because it is actually in the shop and therefore people are more likely to see it and buy it. :(
 
Still no reply from Tescos at my end, will e-mail again tomorrow and keep piling the pressure on until I get a reply! :)
 
I have sent an e-mail too >:(. I pointed out that rabbits and guinea-pigs are animals which should be kept in pairs and therefore the housing is definitely not suitable for 2 animals. Tesco is crap though and only cares about money, it's got no morals.
 
I don't think any of these super markets have morals, Asda are now selling a £15.00 suit for men and trousers and a white blouse for women for £5.00 made in a sweat shop no doubt! :tickedoff:

I don't shop in Tesco's anymore, I'm not keen on their principles, but they are all like that really. The smaller grocer's prices are sky high so what can the consumer do?
 
I thought the RSPCA had come up with cage size requirements for small animals, or have i got that wrong, and surly if they have someone should notify them of what tescos are selling
 
I remember something about that Emma, I can't see the RSPCA taking on Tesco's though. Their cheif exec is from Belle Vale 5 mins away from me. I'll pan his face in if I see him here...lol :D

Well, the RSPCA have their own personal recommendations for cage sizes, but it isn't the law ;)

The Codes of Practice are being worked on, which will specify accommodation sizes....but nothing as yet.
 
The RSPCA have recommended 4 foot by 2 foot to DEFRA (or are going to) and it is likely to become law. Whether or not it will be legal to sell the hutches I don't know, it may be that you can only act if a guinea(s) is being kept in it- i don't know. I don't think the RSPCA should have to police supermarkets, at least the Inspectors shouldn't,they have more than enough to do as it is.

4ft by 2ft for 1 guinea pig ?
 
Good point! No for 2, they are also recommending that as guineas are sociable anim,als they should be kept with other guineas :) Thanks for pointing that out ::)
 
Its fine :D Ive read up loads on DEFRA they are really good O0
 
Indoor cage by tesco's is the size of a nero 2 and they have it advertised as suitable for rabbits and guinea pigs :'(
 
in confused....which is the wire floor - the runs look good, ;)but I wouldnt have room in the shed for anything else... :'( :-\
 
The wooden hitches have a solid floor but a wire floor is also included to put on top >:(

:tickedoff: how old fashioned is that!
 
They really haven't don't their homework have they! For a 21st Century supermarket they are stuck in the dark ages! ::)
 
its a shame because their food isn't that bad- as in doesn't contain colourings!
 
There's only one good thing about Tesco for me - met my husband there. :smitten:

I was a checkout girl and he was a trolley boy ... how romantic is that?! :D ;D
