guyliath 15 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hello all, I went and had a look at a 2storey hutch today off of preloved, for my first ferrets. Needless to say I didn't buy it, the couple wanted £30 for a hutch full of mud and chicken droppings. Should have been listed on a website called prehated. Any way I am gonna build my own now. Can anyone give me tips and hints on cheap materials and where I might be able to pick them up? I have plans for a couple of 4x2x2 hutches. One for a hob and one for a group of jills. I don't wanna spend the earth on materials. I am based in Kent. All the best, G Quote Link to post
