Hutch Help!

[LucyB1234]

You've convinced me! I'm putting my order in today for a Ryedale, I was sitting on the fence over it but seeing yours I've got hutch envy

I don't think you'll be disappointed . Let me know how you get on x

I came across this on ebay...
99p large rabbit hutch used available for collection 99p | eBay

How can anyone think that would be worth buying? It looks like it would fall apart as soon as you try to move it! It also looks a lot like one which was being sold with animals included a while back, though that might be my imagination.

I bought the Chartwell double hutch at the beginning of December, I haven't yet been able to put it together as the outbuilding for the piggies isn't ready yet, so I hope I don't have the same problems as you, @Piggylove82

I love my Chartwell double hutch. I'm so pleased I bought it. It was fairly easy to put together, mind you there were 3 of us!

It looks like it's a bunny's current home, but it looks disgusting. Small, worn, so dirty

Chartwell just didn't do it for me . I've paid more for my Ryedale hutch but it's definitely money well spent.

Aww, that little black face looking out of the tunnel, as if to say 'excuse me, are you taking my photo?'

I'm glad you're having a lot of years out of your hutch. Some of the panels I received for the Chartwell 6ft were not properly put together. Tongue and groove not slotted together properly. Replacements were just as bad. And then because the back wall was just thin plywood (like my Pets at Home hutch) I had to fork out for the hutch snuggle and hutch hugger to compensate, bumping the overall cost up by over £100. My pigs are outside all year, all seasons. They need something substantial. For me, the Chartwell didn't stand up to that

Oh no, foxes?

Yes they live on the Heath and I see them running down the road not seen any in the garden yet but I don't want to take any chances and that's why my piggies are now safely housed (hutched?) in the garage

I dont blame you! Our pigs are precious

I've finished painting my hutch, but all this rain . Well, call me a wuss ball, but I don't want to put it outside now

Hey, any joy on your hutch order? I have painted mine now, just waiting for some non rainy weather to put it outside. Chance would be a fine thing!
