any advise on building a double ferrit hutch


Recommended Posts


Hi i am looking to build a double ferrit hutch and was wondering if any one has any picture of there own so i can decide what to build mine like.My mate has just lined his jill so im getting a couple when there born so need to get on with building Cheers.

 

If you get chance mate, give the inside a couple of coats of quick drying varnish before the ferts come. Also a bit of concrete sealant in their run if poss. It makes things easier in the long term. Good luck. Cheers, D.

I Just made mine 4ft high, 4ft long and 2ft deep. 2 floors and a ladder for them.

If i was you ide give them litter trays, they'll soon get used to using them saves a lot of work cleaning out. and put vinly on the floors.

Put one up stairs one down and one outside(make sure you put a roof over it though or rain will mak a mess of cat litter or whatever you use. Also but a bit of beading down to hold them in place.

If you have the room, make a run 6ft long and 4ft wide, plenty of room for them to play then.

Ill stick some pick of mine up later, although the run is a little worse for ware, going to make a ned one this summer.

Take your time draw a plan of basic H/W/L , don't try building it in 'kit form' i.e sawing all the wood then try to assemble it because you'll always find that you've made a mistake somewhere along the line.

 

Here's one I finished last week just got a pregnant jill in at the moment on the bottom level.
