I have an 8x6 shed, limited DIY skills & money - need to find space for more piggies

[Becky92]

I have 8 piggies myself, 3 singles 1 pair & 1 threesome
I also have a rabbit in my shed until i can sort an outdoor setup.

This might get confusing but bare with me lol. In my shed at the min is a big up & down for the threesome, and various individual hutches aswell my buns 5x2 hutch.

I NEED to find space to fit in a single piggy and a pair. Me n my partner live seperately currently and hes no longer allowed to keep his piggies at his place, so they are going to live with me til we move into together next year.

Its an 8x6 shed but inside its just short of that so 7ft .. x 5ft ..., so any ideas on how i can fit them in? Anyone recommend anyone that sells block hutches ? Or has anyone managed to fit so many piggies in 1 space ?

Just to add to things I'm 25weeks pregnant so diy is limited and my partner works nights 5 on- 2 off so hes not really avail for any BIG jobs. Money is obviously an issue because altho we'd love to spend hundreds + on a piggy palace we have a baby to buy for too :S


Also i need an idea for sumthing for my rabbit, e.g like a chicken coop but safer. I dont have the space for a dog kennel altho thats the idea i like.


So PLEASE anyone - HEEEELLPP MEEE ! lol


- PS i know this is a lot of guinea pigs to keep whilst pregnant BUT if it gets too much we will have to consider rehoming a few BUT they are our family and I'm not willing to let them go easily ! They are loved and adored so please no comments telling me to rehome them - i will not give up on my babies just because i having a human baby

I have seen people enhance their shed space with shelves. If your DIY skills are limited, it is easy to make shelves with piled up bricks as the supports if you have them. For the shelves themselves, you could buy a few big plywood boards from a large DIY store and get them to cut it to the required size on their saw mill.
