The 'interesting hutch' NEW SET UP- they finally moved in - HEAVY

Jemma&Theo

Mama Doe
After all my deliberation about the new hutch I have made a few small adaptations and they have moved in... I am so pleased with it.

Here , I took a picture to show how we securely strapped a small mouse feeding bowl under the water as the dripping last time caused the wood to rot....

The new hay rack- i didnt really want it against the mesh as i didnt want it to get damp but we couldnt safely secure it inside the hutch without risking it splitting the wood.

The hutch before the destruction- filled with treats from Pampered piggies...

The ladder was steep so we made this platform to reduce the incline.... it also acts as a cool "hidey hole" and we can lift it out to clean underneath.

We cut a hole into a £1.99 plastic box from sainsburys to put in their bed......

And its totally carpeted throughout..... What luxury for a bun :D

Just have to monitor them as they just moved in- havent seen them go up the ramp yet so need to do that before I can sleep as their water is upstairs....

So excited. Im so happy. The run is massive but the shed people just took the lid away to make it into 2 pieces as it was so heavy to lift .

and all this for £200.... delivered AND constructed... highly recommended if you live near dudley. PM me for the company name...

I am just waiting on the step ladder to get in and out of the run. lol

:D:D:D BEAM :D:D:D
 
Its great:) you might want to get some of those metal strips to cover all the wood inside before bunny teeths get to it;)

Yeah i never thought of that- my OH informs me that he has some down the cellar. So will keep an eye- if they devour more than their toys I will put some on straight away. Thanks for that.. :D

yeah they make everything...... anything to order. You just draw what you want or tell them the dimensions.

The company is called BOWIES. In Kingswinford / Pensnett. 01384271730

You may have to pay a bit of a delivery fee living so far....But mine was free. I know they are short on business at the moment so try haggling.
