TOMO 26,948 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Looking to make a new hutch , and fancied something differant from the standard design , anyone got any ideas or pics ? Saw one once that was made to fit in a corner of a yard,,, so it was shaped like a letter L. I have been looking at those garden storage sheds for push bikes,, about 6 foot wide and between 2 and 3 foot deep about 4 foot high,,, they have double doors on the front,, that could be easily made in to wire meshed doors Quote Link to post

TOMO 26,948 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Good them mate,,, one I saw wasn't quite as grand as those,, it was just a normal hutch, but corner shaped,, no bottom run Quote Link to post

steve66 3,582 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 Some good ones , years ago a mate who only had a small concrete yard around the back , had 2 small hutches fastened to the yard wall at each end connected in the middle by a 9ft piece of land drainage pipe, sounded strange to hear the ferrets running up and down it Quote Link to post
kps1979 1,308 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I used this for a while until I made a new one! 3 Quote Link to post
GreyRake 108 Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'd concentrate on a big weather proof run with a hard floor first then put some nest boxes or a small hutch inside it for sleeping. Make it easy to open and clean, makes life easy. My indoor hutch has detachable walls on every side so getting in to clean is no bother. 1 Quote Link to post

Andrew Beirne 78 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Id go with one that suits you mate but some of the chicken runs on ebay look very good if you put them on a concrete base the_stig's first photo looks like ferret heaven Quote Link to post
