B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) just thought id put a thread up for people to to share their pictures of their hutches and runs. doesnt matter if its been homemade or bought. i find it interesting the amount of variation in 'enclosures' and the different takes on what a run/ hutch should be. ive seen some pics on here of converted aivarys in a garage with a hole in the wall to the run outside, a couple of hutches joined together by a wooden tunnel and i also seen a pic a while back of a hutch in a shed with a long pipe down to an outside run at the other end of the garden. heres my hutch, its pretty boring but does the job for now. wouldnt really put a pic up of it but how can i expect you guys(and girls) to put pics up if i dont its a triple hutch but when the pic was taken i only had 2 ferrets seperated with the bottom hutch empty, ive got 'ladders' to all the floors now and all 4 of mine stay in there sound. hope people post pics and it will be good to see the different designs etc. cheers Edited October 10, 2011 by Veedublee Quote Link to post

B.P.R 2,798 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 sound that mate i made mine myself.......only joking. i got it off a guy who i know whos a joiner. its pretty sturdy and wont be falling apart anytime soon. i suppose the size/ type of hutch you have depends on the space you have got. i guess a chicken coup would be the best housing or something similar but i dont have the room and im moving house soon and dont have the room at the new place either. infact the missus wants rid of the ferrets from the new house- NO CHANCE Quote Link to post
