Heyoo all,
I ordered the boys a new hidey two weeks ago from zooplus and it arrived this morning....the packaging was open, the roof of the hidey had bad water damage and the front of the hidey was completly snapped off and broken, as well as this the hay rack which was meant to be attached was snapped off and pieces were missing.
I phoned zooplus up, and they refunded me straight away and said that they didnt want the broken hidey back.
So not to waste the hidey wood....I'm going to try and fix it with wood glue and use spare bits of wood from the shed to support it a bit better perhaps screw it together (if thats possible!), as for the hay rack I'm going to attach left over garden mesh and hope that works too!
Heres the hidey on zooplus:

Heres mine:
The backs not attached as its missing screw holes to attach the wooden screws to the two ajoining sides...
The front:
Water damaged roof:
I hoping that with some woodglue and extra wood support it'll stay up...it has a fair few cracks down the side pannels too.fingers crossed, i hate throwing things away that i know with a bit of support it can work!
Anyway i just wanted to comment on their lovely customer service, I'm going to put the refunded money away for the boys birthday birthday in june and buy artie a grassy tunnel from zooplus.
