HI
The materials come from a local sawmill, real old fashion place thats been there for years.
The price i know is more than some but there are places that are expensive.

I know of a company that do playhouses for £8000 and they turn over a £million per year, but there are playhouses for £300.

Thanks

Lee

I love some of the super expensive play houses, what lucky kids!
again I think saying u use a local saw mill would be good advertising, as would FSC wood (but that might bump the price again)

What are you using to treat the wood?

Hi
I used Ronseal water based on kennels they tell me its safe for pets.
Do you know of any others?
Thanks
Lee

I have used cuprinol which is safe for pets once dried, I would probably put some anti chew stuff on the wood if my rabbit became interested in chewing bit of her house.
pets at home do a hutch paint but I have read it smells very toxic and they only sell it in small cans.

Hi All
Just thought i would update the posh hutch thread, i know a lot of people have been checking the website, the hutch is taking a lot longer than i thought because of having the time, its almost finished and looks as good as the kennel.
I don't think i will be putting it on sale, it takes longer to make than the kennel which would make the pricing to high.
Thanks for all the comment and i'll load a picture soon.
Thanks
Lee

Why dont you make a converted kennel for bunnies rather than a hutch? I know lots of people that buy kennels for buns and convert them themselves. Also i bought a wooden hamster cage from a german company on ebay a year ago they dont sell them anymore, i bought it for £35 and £30 delivery... i sold it used and slightly damaged for £90 on ebay!!!!!! Theres a huge need for decent small animal cages, these plastic hamster cages are ntoo small for alot of syrian hamsters..... just a thought, have a look in the classified section in small animals on here, theres a pic of it when i was advertising it originally.

Hi
I was going to do it that way at the start but the costs are still around £300 which a lot of people would not pay,
Most peole look at the price first and build second , if you look at the quality of these ones in the local garden centre they are so thin the woods like waffer.

you can only try and advertise, My neighbour has a p@h 6ft by 2ft double rabbit hutch for her guineas there about £150. The sides are made with t&g but the back has thin ply wood 6mm max and its always soaking wet on the insides shes really disappointed. Guinea pigs require a lot less height so maybe Guniea hutches would be cheaper. also I loved Croftys old Hammy cage it was ace and her hammy looked so happy and busy in it, if you've got the patients for smaller things then there is probably a great mark up to be made.

Hi

I have two rabbits that are curently in a double hutch with run attached, they are also let out to run free in the yard twice a day.

The hutch is getting old and I have been trying in vain to find a decent new home for them.
Everything available seems to be much smaller than we already have, I'm looking at the shed option but both of mine love to be up high and jump on ramps etc so I would have to add lots to the inside of a large shed to make it a good home for them.

Can anyone offer some advise or offer a supplier that makes extra large hutches?
