Yes, but they'd only be in that overnight during spring/summer and I don't know about your pigs but mine sleep in about 1 square foot of space ::)
 
As with anything, it depends on how many piggies you are thinking of putting in! I think it sounds fabulous (if a bit expensive). its over five foot long, by two and a half wide, by three foot high, which, when you consider the size of most hutches/cages, is huge! I wouldn't mind getting one for the boys!
 
I think it looks great but I would change the ramp - so that it wasn't as steep and they couldn't fall off of it (i.e some sort of 'hand' rails). Would probably be fairly easy to do.
 
I think it's great :smitten: I'd love one although it depens on the amount of piggies going in it I suppose :)
 
I would not buy it yes it looks nice but it is to small. There are some bigger Hutch/run combos on ebay much cheaper.
 
its expensive for what it is, but how can people say that over 5 foot by over 2 n a half foot and 3 foot tall is small for a couple of piggies :o to me that is plenty big enough for upto 3 piggies.
 
Might be worth checking the roof is sloping if being used outside. Looks like a lovely spacious clear area at the bottom - in a way it's a shame the vertical space couldn't have been divided into two levels all the way across.

That's true, there's a lot of wasted space, I suppose you could alter it but at that price you shouldn't have to
 
Woah I posted about that one somewhere else! I think that they are expensive for their size and the sleeping quarters are small - but as you say they only sleep in such a small space this shouldn't really matter too much if there are places they can hide in the actual run bit. Ithink you would have to put guards either side of the ramp though.
 
Yes, come to think of it, the price is a bit steep although I like the look of the sleeping quarters.
 
it seems to be a rather tall run,it would be better if it was longer or wider than tall like that
 
it is rather on the expensive side, for the money you could get quite a nice shed, then you could have lots of piggies, lol :)

yup i thought that too
 
Going to be a party pooper and say that for that price I'd buy a shed and let them free range- you still get extremes of weather in the summer and the ramp is way too steep... So I wouldn't get it for mine unless it was as a run and they had a shed for free ranging.

Told you I was gonna be a party pooper :embarassed:
 
LOL

I think its great for an outdoor run as i want my OH to build me something like it, personally buy the shed ! Best decision i ever made was having the shed i blame Traci for mine she started me off !
 
I think getting a shed for that money would be a better idea too. Someone I know has just got a fantastic shed for £200 with lots of windows.

I really like that one too - but can't see a ramp ?

I have a shed but have been fighting a losing battle with mice so I have to move them out of the shed and get rid of it or rehome them

It might be coming to rehoming as I am at my wits end with the mice. They're in the hutches, running around the floor and I've tried trapping them but only catch the odd one as there's food in the hutches for them. So I'm looking at options that leave little room for mice to settle and nest.
 
Do you know how the mice are getting in? Is the shed on concrete? Have they made holes in it?

No we totally emptied the shed about a month ago and there were no visible access points except one which we blocked off, but they were back in immediately.

They're in the house too, I'm sick of them >:(
