Ebay Product Piracy
August 28th, 2008 by Belinda
It has been brought to my attention that an Ebay seller has been using my product names, ingredients list and even product usage instructions to make and sell products for rabbits, guinea pigs and chinchillas on Ebay.
The seller goes under the Ebay name of babeoftheabyss and the shop name is Herbal High Magick.
At last count this seller was selling their “version” of the folowing Galen’s products:
- Chanca Plus Powder
- Animmune Powder
- Apple and Alfalfa Cookie Mix
- Rosehip & Beetroot Cookie Mix
- Parsley & Yucca Cookie Mix
- Carrot & Coriander Cookie Mix
- Hedgerow Herbs
- Nutri Powder
- ASAP Powder
This Ebay seller is nothing to do with me and their products have not been formulated by me. If you compare this person’s products to the original Galen’s Garden products you will see what I mean.
Whatever claim this seller may make for their ‘version’ of my products, the Galen’s Garden range of healthy Cookies is designed for herbivores which require a diet high in lignified fibre. They are not designed for rodents or ferrets.
Genuine Galen’s Garden Cookie Mixes contain grassmeal and are balanced for the correct levels and ratios of calcium & phosphorous, as well as protein & fibre.
Genuine Galen’s Garden powders, including ASAP powder, Chanca Plus powder, Animmune powder and Nutri Powder are pure powders and will mix with water to be fed via a syringe. They do not contain cut herbs.
The real Galen’s Hedgerow Herb blend is balanced for a number of factors including mineral and trace element spread, astringency, phytonutrients and other factors relevant to rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus.
