So I am currently in the process of finding a new hutch for my girls. I want it to be a single level 4ft x 2ft but am struggling to find anything. I need it to be under £60 if that's possible. Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Those preloved and gum tree links are advertising guinea pigs being sold with the hutches :( Sorry but these types of links aren't allowed?

Have you had a look on eBay?
 
There looks to be some good ones on gumtree and preloved so I will have a closer look later. Yes, I have tried eBay but there doesn't seem to be anything I'm looking for on there. Thanks everyone!
 
c &c cage

Hiya - ebay do a c & c cage that you can build to any size/ design you like - it comes * under 'Pet Den' by Grendle.

It's for indoor use only - would that be any good?

I didn't mean to offend anyone on the forum so sorry if i did but i just shared a link to preloved where i searched 'guinea pig hutch', not to a specific advert. Just trying to help :))

I'm afraid that this wouldn't be any good as my piggies live outside (apart from in the winter of course!)

Don't worry I don't think you've offended anyone! It's only because you didn't select the option 'pet accessories' which would only bring up hutches. The one you provided the link to was under the option 'pets and livestock' therefore it brought up animals for sale. :))
 
sorry, I didnt know! D: I'm new, thanks for letting me know!
 
Do you not know anyone who could build you one as it is alot cheaper to buy the materials and build yourself than it is to buy one. As a teen i bred rabbits and my dad built me huge 2 story breeding hutchs for less than £40 pound each.

Really wish I did have someone but unfortunately I dont :( I can imagine how much cheaper it must be!

Where abouts do you live?
There is this man in Andover. He will deliver to a reasonable distance. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Custom-Hutches-And-Runs/151646258199780

I think his 4ft x 2ft x 2ft hutches on long legs cost £65. If you went for a say 16inch high hutch on short, he would reduce the price.

Good luck! :)

Hi,
Thanks for replying! I'm in Warwickshire, west midlands. Not sure how far away that is from andover. Sounds perfect for what I'm lookig for!
 
Pets at home do a single level 4ft x 2ft hutch for £50 not the greatest hutch in the world but with a hutch hugger and snuggler works wonderfully :)

That's the sort of thing I'm looking for and it's for a good price too! The only problem is that the hutch hugger is £60!
 
Hi rabbitdan thanks for those links there very helpful. The only problem with some of them is that there not 2ft deep which is what I'm after. Quite interesting in the second link though.

But what the space lacks a little, the sturdiness and the longer life of the hutch makes up for in my opinion.
