If you are going to keep them outside then I would recommend a hutch on long legs. Mice & rats can get into low level hutches, plus the wire is a bit wide, we have a similar hutch to that one but with the long legs & we put in an extra lot of wire with small squares to make the mesh smaller. They are ok hutches but not really built to last a long time to be honest :)

No we don't agree with hutches being on the ground as my dad put legs on the previous hutches we've had. What do you think of the double story hutch i put on?
 
My personal opinion is that I wouldn't use one for my piggies, I'm not a big fan of ramps, they scare me a bit in case the piggies fell off & injured themselves. You could use tunnels attached to the ramps to make them safe. I like to see mine running around & pop corning in a large open space but I don't know if piggies find double storey hutches/cages restricting?
 
A double storey 6 ft hutch with a special dad built long not steep ramp with a wall that they couldn't fall off would probably be amazing ..... but non doubt very costly!
