Is this hutch ok

[Squicclies]

Just wondering is this hutch a good size for 3 guiena pigs? We are getting it from esty

That seems quite small to me and the price is quite high too

A minimum size for 3 piggies is 160 cm x 60 cm, second levels do not count as guinea pig need one level to race around an exhibit their natural behaviour a second level inhibits this.

You need to be looking at a cage/hutch on one level at least 5ft long and a hutch hugger for protection from the cold, ideally gp’s are far better kept inside as part of the family. Is their any particular reason why they need to be outside?

Have a read at our housing guide below, I’m sure to you find far better accommodation an the one in your photo

For three guinea pigs you really need a cage measuring 180x60cm so I’m afraid none of the ones you have posted are big enough.

The first hutch wouldn’t even be big enough for two piggies

Thank you

if you want an indoor cage then a c&c cage (a 2 grid by 5 grid cage is needed for three sows/two sows and a neutered boar) is cheaper.

If you are looking for an outdoor hutch then you need a 6ft hutch. Home & Roost (online) sell suitable 6ft hutches

But is ok for 3 guiena pigs

But is ok for 3 guiena pigs

As long as any cage or hutch you buy measures 180x60cm or more, then it is fine for three sows or one neutered boar with two sows.

I would not recommend a hutch from personal experience, they are unhygienic, difficult to clean, and end up going rotten! From the look of the other replys, you are looking to keep your piggies indoors, which is good- especially at this time of year! Have you looked into C&C cages at all? They will probably end up cheaper than a hutch anyway. I bought a "rabbit playpen" off Amazon which turned out cheaper than buying an actual C&C cage, and it provided way more space! I then bought "proplex floor protector" from Wickes, as it is basically really cheap correx. I then bought some "noodle" bath mats from Wilko, as I cannot afford to make a fleece cage liner!(I would recommend using fleece as bedding rather than sawdust or hay.ect) If you are wanting to know more about these sorts of things, I would recommend squeak dreams YouTube channel!

I have these Plaza cages, they are a very good indoor cage. I have two pairs of piggies so the 160 x 60 cam is an ideal size

 

[Bill & Ted]

Have a look at the C&C cage range, they are great cages and you can add to them by buying extra grids and little lofts
These may be more suitable, but bear in mind if you have dogs/cats or small people then you need to consider either keeping them separate or elevating the cage to a table or higher ground? You can add a roof, that is also possible

Just agreeing with what the others have said. C&C grids are great for size and flexibility. The Ferplast Plaza 160 is also a good cage if you want a ready-made option - my boys are neighbours so they have one of these each.
