ariel&oscar that is a fabulous setup, it looks awesome! The tunnel is ingenious! Thanks for sharing your lovely photos. :))

We'll be keeping the hutch on concrete as well (on our patio) but on pleasant days, we'll move the run onto the grass so they can have a good nibble.
 
I don't know if this would be possible but you could convert this into a hutch -

Because you build the unit yourselves, you would just miss out putting the glass and drawers in. It's £129, but you could jazz it up and make it look great. It would probably be suitable to use as a tabletop to keep their supplies on too. I'm not sure about putting something like this outside, but I suppose you probably could after weather proofing it.
 
Interesting idea, really wouldn't go with our distressed pine furniture though lol.

But funnily enough, we were looking at one of our bookcases and thinking what a fab hutch it would make if turned on it's side and modified a bit:

Corona Pine Bookcase

Not that we would actually do that as we like our bookcases for storing books, but it would certainly match nicely! :D
 
I've actually just been looking on ikea myself - I'm really tempted to convert a unit into a third hamster cage.. Blossom the hamster already has two.... :red-c

I did see this though - but yet again it is really expensive and you'd still have to pay for extra materials -

It is triple storey - but hey ho for another one of my pointless ideas -

Real shame about the price of this - it would have matched your unit

I think I'll stop with my pointless ideas because even without the materials it would cost a fortune to make!
 
Ooohh... that would be perfect indeed! :D

When we come to making a permanent space indoors, I might have to show the hubby that. But not until our bank balance has recovered. :D
