Johnston & Jeff invest in small animal housing production


Johnston & Jeff has made a 'huge investment' in its woodshop resources and facilities as it launches its own range of small animal housing, starting with rabbit hutches.

The company unveiled its rabbit hutches at Glee last month and it prompted one visitor to the stand to comment: "I have never seen anything as splendidly as these..."

Commercial manager Chris Grange explained why Johnston & Jeff had made a huge investment to produce its small animal housing range/

"Other than the truly artisan one-offs made by specialist craftsmen there is nothing on the UK market of a sufficient quality to give an animal a decent life, warm, comfortable, and safe," said Chris.

"There are just cheap imports, badly made of low quality materials, and rarely supplied complete with all necessary components. So welcome instead to the Johnston & Jeff way of looking after animals. Properly. Seriously."

The key points of the new range are:

  • 3 single tier and 3 double-tier hutches
  • FSC® certified
  • joinery made and to an exceptional standard
  • frames made with 40mm x 40mm milled timber
  • all solid areas 12mm tongue and groove
  • floors in 11mm plywood
  • mesh is 1/2” galvanised
  • rubber end-caps on feet
  • solid, well insulated, meets if not exceeds all welfare standards, extremely comfortable, a first

The hutches come as flat packs, but are easily assembled with full instructions and all necessary fittings.
