Just came across this. What does anyone think about suitability for guinea pigs?

The ramp would need some adjustments but I like the idea of how you can move it around the garden to allow different areas of grass to be "mowed" by the animals.

The other thing is they've been a bit sneaky on the measurements (including the nesting box in the only length measurement) they provide so I'm not entirely sure whether the run on grass part of it is big enough.

I've seen this type of wire on other hutches - how big does a piggie need to be before it couldn't squeeze through?
 
Some members on here have similar. Here chicken coops are often used for piggies because they are usually bigger than what is sold as piggy hutches. I must say the wheels aspect of this one is something I haven't seen before & think it's a great feature. Otherwise, the thing would be difficult to move around easily. Although the 201cm x 75cm means end to end, I think you'll find the run part is going to be quite a generous size, I suspect at least 160cm x 65cm. I had a hutch with that wiring when Peanut Butter was only 1 month old & he couldn't get through. What I like about this wiring is that it is slotted between two pieces of wood. I find the wiring that is just attached to the inside often has sharp edges at the bottom posing a danger to zooming piggies. I also think the price is very good for this item.
 
It looks good. If you get it could you let me know what you think of it. Because I'm thinks about getting one. I like the wheel idea, very handy
