well this is my hutch and run, although still awaiting the homecheck so fingers crossed ! we have sectioned the garden off so the lawned area is now a no dog zone and the dogs only have the run of the patio well and the field (we have 6acres attached to our house)
so i have a 4ftx2ft double storey hutch and then a 3ftx4ft run
(hope these work, have never posted pics before)

Looks great, good luck with the homecheck, I'm sure it will be fine! Lucky pigs

I like how the bush somewhat shelters them from the weather, its really good placement 
. I would place the waterbottle up on the top though because the ramp is very steep and they may not use it for the first few dayys if they havent had one before.
Also they dont want to have to travel down at night/when its wet/windy etc to get water.
Whats the pineapple shape thing on the cage?

thanks I have sinced moved the water bottle for that very reason ! the pineapple thing is a salt/mineral lick.
we are hoping that they will winter out - you can stop them going into the chilly downstairs section for nights/winters. also I'm going to fill their hutch completley with hay and then cover them with one of my really thick warm horse rugs.
If they seem to be getting cold then they can come into the playroom for the winter (the the building you can partially see in the photo)

Remove the pineapple thing, salt and mineral licks etc are bad for them and just commerical junk places like pets at home will try and sell to you for no reason.
I would bring them in for the winter, I really don't think guinea pigs should be outside in the winter but thats just my oppinion. To be honest they don't 'winter out' like say a horse or dog can.

Here's my new set up - it's taken over the whole of my spare room mallethead
This is the girl's part
This is George's (please ignore the pink crashpad - it's only temporary)
and this is the boy's
that was great to see as Ive just ordered my mesh cubes, and it will be the exact size of yours 3squares by 4squares.
yours looks fab ! hope mine will be as good ! just waiting for a sign company to get back to me with a price for the correx
Only got Nimbus and Nesbit on Friday but by Sunday we had bought the materials and made not only the cage but the table as well! I have never seen 2 happier pigs when we put them in for the first time. 2nd level coming soon. The white plastic is only a temp measure until we get the correx this Friday.

Here's my girl's cage.
Aww I love the pinkness and the cute looking piggies x)x)
Finally got the boys cage and run sorted out properly this weekend so here are some piccy's. If I'd have saw all these wonderful C & C cages before buying mine,we would have gone down that route but for now this is the set up we are going with.
Here is their corner of the Dining room:
This is the inside of their cage (please excuse the poops and hay, my boys are messy!):
I'm wanting to get them some soft fleecey beds or snuggle sacks soon too, when we can afford them. Also the food bowls and water bottles are in the run when this photo is taken as thats where the boys are.
Here is the inside of their run (they also run around the living room of an evening sometimes too):
The run is lined with correx, should we put a fleece over this as this is just there run area or is it ok just the correx? Obviously we have fleece in their main cage.

You need something down. I made this mistake in my play pen by leaving half without any fleece. Your piggies will wee and then lie in it and end up all soggy if you don't have something down ! I swaer they do it on purpose to wind us up rolleyes

my piggie tower
just got these new cages for my guinea pigs. a real bargain only £60 for all 3!
in the penthouse is bugsy (who we were told was a girl but is actually a boy).
then humbug in the middle and snowball on the bottom we have the 2 girls seperated at the moment as they are both due to have babies soon but will put them back in together after.
i will be keeping all the babies.

My C&C's, but they are always changing when the piggies decide they don't want to be in one space, we just mix it up! We have a friend who owns a sign shop, so the plastic is free, it's so funny, normal couples ask if they can pickup milk or TP, we ask if we need more zip ties or grids
This was the quarantine area when my Max got conjunctivitis, he was happy up there, but never will I buy the Sorbee again for bedding, what a mess!
Handy ramp made by my boyfriend, the bottom is 4x3 and the ledge on the top is 1x3. Currently, naughty hawk is in the top since he bit my max, but we are (once again) going to change the cage. They can still visit, the ramp is still there, there is just a solid grid between.
And finally Jr's room. He is a mean little piggie, but we are going to attach him back to the big cage once we rearrange the living room.
