Advice about hutchs

Hi, I was hoping to get some advice about hutches I've seen two hutchs that I think are ok for 2/3 piggies :-\ but do not know which one to get or which one is best :-\

unfortunetly I can;t have a bigger than 4ft hutch as space is limited, which is why I thought of a double hutch, I'm going to make it more piggie safe by makeing the ramp less steep and adding somthing to the side to stop them falling of the ramp

They are good quality hutches. 4x2 is for 2 pigs 5x2 for 3 pigs. Thistle is ideal if you are going to move into a shed. I have a lavender lodge which won't fit in my shed but I like that hutch as it is long for them to run about in. It's your call weigh up both. Some pigs won't use a ramp. Personally I would put 2 in the Thistle and 3 will fit in the Lavender.

wish I could fit the lavender lodge in unfortunetly I can;t, space is just about big enough for a 4ft huch. will have to keep thinking, as I really wanted a little group of 3 :-\

I may have it wrong can anyone else advise about putting 3 in a 2 tier? It's just I think they may not use the ramp so I never count it but some do it's a 4x2 double so would 3 be ok. The Lavender is huge, I love it but can't fit in my shed at all! ;D
