Site Information

What has happened to Galen's Garden?

A few things have happened since Galen's Garden was first built 20 years ago. 

• The number of pages on the site has grown to over 500 and the site was entirely hand built
• The nature of the Internet has changed and search engine optimisation is now a major factor.
• Specialist Ltd has expanded the Galen's Range considerable in 2010
• We've found a great, consistent, source of top quality UK hay in The Hay Company
• The sites are now database driven which makes them easier to manage.
• The new system allows us to safely off free mini sites to breeders, clubs, rescues, shows & vets.

Where have all the pages gone?

• Rabbit Information is now on the Rabbit Information site.
• Guinea Pig information is on the Guinea Pig Information site
• Chinchilla & Degu pages have moved to the Chinchilla & Degu site
• Herbs & Homoeopathy have a new Herbs & Homoeopathy site
• Hay, dietary fibre and forage information is now on the Herbal Hay site
• Vegetable monographs are on our new Dried Vegetable site

Where is the Directory?

• Having people keep their own directory listings up to date simply wasn't working
• So many of the directory listings contained dead links that we've decided to build our own
• The directory will now be split over the following domains
  • Rabbit Breeders
  • Rabbit Clubs
  • Rabbit Rescues
  • Rabbit Shows
  • Rabbit Vets
  • Cavy Breeders
  • Cavy Clubs
  • Cavy Rescue
  • Cavy Vet
  • Guinea Pig Shows
• Free mini sites are available on all these domains for those who's activities are relevant.
• The free mini sites will be subject to certain terms and conditions as follows:
  • Users must be bona fide breeders, clubs, rescues, shows or vets
  • Users must provide enough information to warrant at least a single page site
  • Content must be suitable for all ages including children
