Free of charge too I would hope after I gifted him a couple of hundreds worth of gear. I wouldn't keep them stinkers in the house though. If he doesn't have any spare he will know where to get them. Get yourself sorted and make a decent hutch made from water proof plywood and 3 x 2 and then give me a buzz. Don't buy them weak hutchs in pet shop ( they are dirt) Quote Link to post
