Diy Emergency

[MollyB]

Hi all,

I had to buy a hutch in the end, and when it arrived it was definitely too small. I'm supposed to be rehoming 2 boys today, and it's just not big enough for them.

I can build on to it, as one of the sides is mesh; I was hoping to create a small room with a slope so they can walk down to the run area (that I also need to build).

If you can recommend any solutions, either fast DIY building, or using something random, like an old drawer or tub, to re-purpose, I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Thanks guys!

I know quite a few people use a bookcase on its back. Could be a quick fix while you change or add to the hutch.

Oh, thank you! Do you have any images, or shall I just google?

I have a table same height as my hutch which makes a detachable run .

There are pictures in this thread ......

I use a runaround door as I can shut this off when the run isn't attached

Wow! I really love that idea! I'll have a think about how I can do something similar myself. It looks like I could be rehoming one little piggy that has poor eyesight, so needs a home alone, and something simple like a table at the same height as the hutch could be perfect!
