I need some super sleuths please!

I keep coming across rabbit huches from a manufacturer cited as being made by the R&D shack company. Does anyone know who they are/where they are based etc? Also are they the same as the people that Zooplus use, they look fairly similar to me.

I'm not just being nosey, I'm doing some work on 'a hutch is not enough' for the RWA and I keep coming across this manufacturer but don't know who they are...grrr...! Any advice appreciated.

Also, while I'm at it - if you know of any manufacturers that sell hutches at 6*2*2 or more, please could you also let me know. So far I have happyhutch, RE hutches, Mr Bun, Forsham Arks and the Rabbit Hutch shop.

Thanks so much

This might be them http://chinalvl.en.alibaba.com/

Ooooh thanks Lynda - how on earth did you find that

Anyone else know of any 6ft hutch manufacturers?

............... ................... haven't a clue!

As for 6ft hutches, we use Happyhutch but you've already mentioned them

I can't believe I've only found 5 manufacturers of 6ft+ hutches, and most of those also sell some god awful stuff too. It's no surprise the general public aren't getting the message

Have you heard of Kernow Pet Housing Alison? They make quality hutches to order.http://www.kernowpethousing.co.uk/

Thanks Helen

OK onto phase 2 - there are lots of other hutches around from various retailers - I need to know who the manufacturers of these are, and how I can contact the manufacturers. I have found a couple, like the natura stuff zooplus and a number of others sell are made by Trixie (UK) Ltd, and a couple of places sell some from a manufacturer called goodspeed south east.

If anyone is able to find out details of any other hutch manufacturers, I'd be ever so grateful. In particular I can picture a really common one, terrible quality, with a red printed picture of a bunny on the door, and a long thin bar at the bottom which can be removed to sweep the inside out. Anyone know the one I mean?

http://www.pennine-prod.co.uk/ - they do the horrible little colourful plastic ones ie. starter pack including sawdust etc.

http://www.hutchcompany.co.uk/output/qd000000.htm - do the crappy ones with the pictures on

Thanks for those Lynda, that's really helpful. That second link is definitely the one I was picturing, I just want to take a can of petrol and some matches to every one I see, even the biggest one is tiny!

Looks like the majority are Eastern made, here's a link to manufacturers:

Anyhow, here's a link to lots of crappy ones, but a few good ones too http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/205443084/Rabbit_Hutch.html?pn=1&pt=10&total=18&cids=200009751,200000520,10325534,10719060,10528531,10337461,11150688,200007184,50005824,50135064,50032735,50065168,50060448,200070807,50031815,200065018,200084076,50016038,50048389,50143940,50140352,50019970,50019159,11333321,11163088,100305434,&tracelog=detailtop12907&newId=205443084#page960

Thanks Lynda, you really are a super sleuth

Did you see the 8 day pet feeder on that link

Yes I did see it, how sad!

Forgot to give you the other link though http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?Type=&year=&month=&location=&keyword=&SearchText=rabbit+hutch&Country=&IndexArea=product_en&CatId=0

Thanks so much, this is really helpful! Campaigning that 'a hutch is not enough' is going to be even harder with so many places buying in cheap tiny goods from the east, where it will be harder to influence the manufacturers
