Please help me find a hutch for 2 sows!

It’s here and they’ve moved in!

Took 2 of us about 3hrs! (With two kids running round trying to help! Lol) The ramp was that hardest bit!

I’m really pleased with it! It’s just 2 of the door lock knobs have fallen off! 🤦🏽‍♀️ Xx

I was wondering how you were getting on! Looks Fab! I cheated with the ramp and used the one out of my old hutch cos I can take it out for cleaning and I wanted something that smelled familiar in the new hutch.

Thanks! I’ve put their old bedding in so it smells familiar! They seemed happy in there! Think it will take time to settle in! Hope they’ll be ok tonight!

Good idea using the old ramp! It was a bit tricky as the brackets took a bit of fiddling! There doesn’t seem to be any support under the loft hatch when it’s closed?! Is that right?! I know they don’t weigh much but think it would be better with some support when it’s closed! I’ve left it open for now! Xx

There's no support under the loft hatch on mine either. I keep mine open all the time as where I used the old ramp it the loft hatch door doesn't fit flush with the floor.
 
Thank you guys so much for the hutch recommend! I’m really pleased I went with your suggestions! I think this is the best set up for them!

Piggies are so happy and have been using the ramp too! Xx

Pleased it's all going well and they have the hang of the ramp already![/QUOTE

Thanks! I’m so glad I went with this one! Bit of a mammoth task cleaning it out but it’s worth it! 😊👍🏻!

Yes one is more confident than the other but I’m so glad they’re using both levels and enjoying their space! 😊 xx

Wow, tonnes of room, they will certainly have a blast. Might be worth sticking a water bottle on the ground floor too. On my double converted, I have 3 bottles for 3 pigs but weirdly they prefer to drink from one bottle but if that has run dry (even though filled up daily) they have options.
