Hi, Taking delivery of a some new hutches tomorrow I’ve had specially made and I want to preserve the floor from wee and to put down some waterproofing material to put their shavings on top of. One of my piggies in particular is terrible for trying to eat anything in sight (bags, puppy pads...

Hi, I am having a double 8ft x 2ft hutch built and I’m looking for a cover for it (one of those insulated ones with the silver foil doesn’t need rainproof as not outside). They keep it nice and cool in the shed in summer and warm in winter. However no company seems to make them that big. 6ft is...

We recently got two guinea pigs. We have a large hutch and run for them. In the bed area we line with paper, thick layer of shavings and then filled with hay. All fine. In the open area I initially also lined with paper and sawdust but oh my god the mess! they practically ended up with all the...

is a 6ft hutch suitable for 3 guineapigs?

...to have taken them from there. I have split their outdoor run in half with chicken wire and at night currently they are occupying a 2-storey hutch with one floor each while I work out the long-term solution. The kids are becoming attached to them, so I'm going to get set up for...

It's an old hutch door with a Guinea Pig Family on it. The Hutch fell apart years ago and I only kept the door because of the picture. Did anyone here ever have a hutch door like this one?

Ventilation will be happening through the open top of your cage It’s essentially a different version of standard type of hutch. A hutch has three solid sides, a solid roof but the front is wire and ventilates that way thus the front of a hutch would be the equivalent of your open top cage

New hutch arrived and lined with correx boards and she’s not interested in them at all which is good news. Didn’t realise they’re like the bottom of a C&C cage and she’s not interested in eating that in her indoor cage either! They’re absolutely loving the new hutch 😍

Hi - I bought a hutch for my daughter's two guinea pages last week and we tried it out this weekend, two things were apparent 1) it was too small and 2) within 15 minutes they'd chewed quite a lot of the wood. So hutch number 1 is disaster. Now having done some research, like i should have...

So are you thinking of stopping giving the selective naturals pellets entirely with the hay hutch ones? If you are stopping the selective naturals then, as i said, you must ensure a good variety of veg to provide the vit c that they would no longer get from the pellets (assuming the hay hutch...

The hutch has to meet size requirements on a single level and any area connected by a ramp does not count towards that size (it’s because piggies prefer their living space to be flat and single level). If I recall, you had a pawhut hutch which wasn’t big enough for the two. You then said you...

You can make it yourself with the foil but you don’t need to staple it to the hutch. I made mine by taping (with the special insulation tape) all the sides together but I made a lip of foil slightly over the front of the hutch (coming down the front a bit - not enough to impede the door but...

Yes The hutches are to add an extra layer of protection should a predator get in but also because it’s easier to keep a hutch warm than it is to keep a whole shed warm. It can also be because people may have multiple pairs who cannot interact with another pair. You absolutely can do free roam...

My piggies are in the garage and live in The Penthouse Suite of Betsy Towers. (Double decker Chartwell Hutch). They have cuddles, combs and coriander every morning and then go in the run every day and go back in the hutch at night. As @Piggies&buns has already stated, what works for you and...

...is a good few degrees cooler than the general shed temperature. I thought they’d have to come inside most of summer but they only do on really really hot days so it’s a miracle really! I assumed the hutches stayed cooler than even the shed because they have hutch snuggles on them but maybe not!

...puppy pads and a fleece - and it’s all done within a couple of minutes. Keeping them safely outside in summer has got so much harder over the last few years particularly. Sheds and hutches can become too hot too quickly - it gets much hotter inside the hutches than it is outside the hutch.

Do you have a photo of your DIY cover? I’m having a go at making one this evening and could use some inspiration 🤣

The ones I used were odour free and were hung from the roof of the shed above the hutches out of reach of the animals. 👍

Thank you 🥰😘

Hey Just wondered if anyone has had cameras for their hutch before. If so how have you attached them and are they useful or worth it- I feel like it would be very interesting to watch them😃 Especially with having to bond my piggy with a new one .
