I need to buy Adrian a new hutch as he is getting neutured and will be getting a spayed girlfriend *hopefully* but I know his current hutch will be too small for two. The only problem here is the only hutches are in Pets At Home and the quality doesn't seem great and they are dubious in size. I can't order online as they add so much postage on top to send to Northern Ireland Or they just won't send her.

Have you tried Gumtree? Did a quick search and came up with this

Might be worth keeping an eye on it.

im almost finished building a double level 6 footer hutch, it worked out cheaper than buying one and i was able to add hollow walls to put insulation in to make sure they are nice and snug next winter

here is my hutch so far...

I've just been looking at all the playhouse tpye housing and sheds and been looking online at prices and they are much cheaper (and bigger!) than buying hutches. I think I am gonig to go down this route instead

and our Pets at Home extended hutch with homemade run

Good luck with whatever you decide!
