used this company before? are they ok?

I'm wanting to get a new double hutch for my young boars (5 months old) who need to be kept seperate as they just fight, was thinking of getting the hutch at the bottom of the page for £79.99.

This way they can still talked to each other and my big boys but have their own hutch. Was thinking i could aso try and pair Treacle up with a new friend as he gets on with most boars ( he palys with my two big boars out in the run) just not his brother ( he was the bully). What do you all think?
At the min i have Bubbles ( the bully) in his out door hutch and he talks to my big boys who have a 4ft double hutch they share as they as best friends xoxo and poor Treacle is indoors on his own at the min and i really want to get him out with the boys so he doesn't feel lonely, but i cant have another single hutch so hoping this hutch will solve my problem.

Any other recomendation would be great too 8)
 
boys and hutches

have you read this thread it may help you with your dilema. if you could take one side of the cage with the two boys in and put wire on that side and do the same with bubbles's cage so they can see and smell each other. but if you are limited to room then this double hutch is excellent though i would change the heart shape latch as piggies can push on the door and the latch moves and piggy falls out. i have read on the forum some piggies have died falling out because of those latches.:0:0:0

good luck with your boys and your hutch problem, hugs xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>
 
Thanks everyone for the advice! :))

Choloe, it will be the first thing i change when i get the hutch, dont want any piggys getting hurt or any other animals getting in! pow-pow

Cant wait till pay day now! :<> I might put a bit on the side of the new and old hutch so they can all see each other will have a think about that

Thanks again :rose
 
I'd say the cage looks nice, but the site doesn't look very professional so I personally wouldn't trust them.

How about this for an alternative? http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?dept_id=397&pf_id=6933 I have used pet planet, and they are very good. Also, have you got a nectar card? If so, if you go through nectar estores and shop through them, you get nectar points for it.

Another alternative http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/8706234/Trail/searchtext%3EHUTCH.htm also from a shop you can get nectar points from! Currently out of stock though. Grr!
 
Thanks Stargrrlclaire but the Argos one is a bit expensive for what I want really and I think I would prefer a double hutch like the one on that site that Squeek posted.:)

Thanks for that tip Choloe - I'm getting a new run for my piggy in the next week or two and the one I have fallen in love with has the heart latch so I will have a word with hubby and get him to fix a different lock on.

I live in Leeds :( but i think we have a home bargins place near by, if its the place I'm thinking the had a hamster cage in the other week that was about £35 in the pet shops and they had it for £12! I'm kicking myself now as i needed another hamster cage as rescued a little under weight ball of fur and he needs a bigger cage, when i went back they'd sold out :(

Thanks for that i will have a look at this place over the weekend, I'm sure its the same place :))
 
Ordered my hutch yesterday so should be here in 2 to 4 working days they said, so far so good will keep you updated :))
 
Its here:laluot_15:arrived this morning but sent it to my OH's work as i new i'd not beable to carry it! Cant wait to get home and put it up! :laluot_03:
