We hate to do this...

We hate to do this.. but the inevitable has to be done..

We will be increasing the price of the Breeder Celect and Back to Nature Cat Litter very soon. :(

I know... so many prices are all on the rise - rice, petrol, bus fares - and now bunny supplies too. We have, so far, been absorbing the increase in price of the BC and B2N from our supplier but we are no longer able to do that due to our ever-rising operating cost (GST and petrol prices).

From 15th April, new prices for BC and B2N will be as follows:
6 litres pack - S$8.30
15 litres pack - S$17.80
35 litres pack - S$38.00

Still, there are reasons for some cheer. There will still be the Make it 2! Special, so buy 2 packs at S$67.50!

We want to keep you, our loyal customer, informed of the new prices so that you can make suitable arrangements before the price hike. Do let us know how we can help should you have any further queries. Thanks!

Pushcart for the month of Oct

Dates for our pushcart at the NLB (ground floor of Event Plaza area) for the month of Oct are as follows:

* 6th & 7th Oct (Sat & Sun)
* 20th & 21st Oct (Sat & Sun)

We hope to see more of you there!

P.S. Do drop us an email if you need us to bring down any specific items.

The Busy Barn's very first pushcart!

We survived our very first pushcart! :)

It was great seeing alot of our friends coming down to our pushcart to pick up a toy or two for their furry friends at home. We met some new friends too. We hope through our pushcart, you guys could learn more about us, our products as well as new tips on bunny care.

We will improve as we go along. So the next time you see us at our pushcart, I'm sure there will be new surprises in store.

Do give us your feedback too; help us to improve. We would love to hear from you.

And.. more of us this coming weekend at the National Library (Ground floor of Events Plaza area). Till then!

The Busy Barn is going places!

We have been receiving alot of enquiries asking if we have a shop front or whether its possible to see/touch our range of products. We have been trying to keep our overheads low so that we could continue to bring quality products to our customers at affordable prices. So looks like setting a physical shop is not feasible for us at the moment.

But we thought a pushcart might suit us. We could move around the island, provide our products, services and rabbit knowledge to more people at different places in Singapore and yet keep prices down. So we grabbed the chance when the opportunity for a push cart at the National Library came along!

We will be having our very 1st pushcart at the National Library on 29th & 30th Sept. Do come and visit us. We will try to bring down as many items as our dear old mini car can take. :) If you have any item(s) in mind that you would like to buy or see, please inform us in advance so that we could bring those along.

So note it down in your diary-
A date with The Busy Barn!
Day: 29th & 30th Sept
Time: 11am till 8pm

Planning ahead, we aim to hold our pushcarts on at least 2 weekends of each month. We will be putting up the dates on our website (http://www.thebusybarn.com.sg/) once the date and venue is confirmed. Here are the tentative dates for the month of October, November and December.

November 2007 (tentative)

White Rabbit brand

Remember the White Rabbit brand? Those sweets that we used to buy from the old uncle at the provision shop downstairs? These toys can be found at the Museum of Shanghai Toys. Find out more (click on picture).

This photo was found in the Yesterday.sg (see their widget below). They're a bunch of heritage enthusiasts who'd unearth treasure troves of stories and memories about heritage and museums in Singapore. Interesting.
