Many of the threads I've read on here about hutches involve people bringing them inside because of the increasing cold. I got my piggies just this Wednesday (I've only had them for about 5 days or so at the time I'm posting this). I'm just wondering if it would be wise to buy a hutch for my pigs when they'll only be inside (I live in an apartment complex so there's really no way of taking them outside).

If a hutch wouldn't be a wise choice, what are some options that I can look at? My two pigs (Pitch and Riddick as the username says haha) are in a 2x2 and I know they at least need a 2x4 so I'm hoping to get some better options as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance!
 
Looks on zooplus website. There is a 160cm long indoor cage in there for a good price. Its called ferplast plaza 160
 
Welcome.
My Finn and Lara are indoor piggies also and I found cages really easy to clean and to take care of. I wash the two cages once every week, one for Lara and one for Finn. After washing the cages, I spray vinegar water to kill the germs.

I also looked at a hutch at the pet shop, and wanted to get one. It was big 2X4 wooden hutch sturdy enough for outdoor and can be used indoor as well. But I thought about how I like to keep clean by washing the cages so I am sticking with cages.
 
Hutches are more four outside. If you are keeping your new piggies inside a c&c or a large cage is a better option.
