My 2 boars are currently living in a 2 storey hutch in my garden, I moved them outside about 2 weeks ago after having them in the utility room over the winter. The hutch is pretty large for 2 piggies (4 foot long, 2 storeys and a ramp) and they seem happy there.
I have also recently bought this run, and the little wooden house as shown in the picture, and in the nice weather they are out there pretty much all day every day.

I provide some shade by putting an old towel over one end and fastening it with clothes pegs.
I was wondering whether in the summer, they could just live full time in the run and attached house rather than being put in the hutch overnight? What I would probably do is fill the house with loads of hay for bedding, and cover half the run with something more substantial than a towel (maybe a tarpaulin) so that they had some shelter from rain as well as shade from the sun.
What do you think? Would they be OK like that for the summer? I was thinking that I'd hardly have to clean them out, just change the bedding in the little hosue and move them to a fresh patch of lawn every few days!
