Guinea pig hutch and run

I'm looking for a hutch and run for my piggies. They're inside at the moment but will go outside once the weather is a bit warmer and dryer. I'd prefer something that's all one level, since we want to move it around the lawn and I've heard that the ramps aren't ideal for them. I've been scouring the internet for ages, but struggling to find anything that's not shockingly expensive so was wondering if anyone knew anywhere good to buy from?

If you have a local special needs charity which provides practical skills training for teens or adults, sometimes they will make this sort of thing for you pretty much at cost price. Have a lok online or in the phone book.

Thank you, that's a great idea! Not sure what we have near us but definitely worth a look :)

You can also go to shed companies and they will specially build as well.

Try the hutch company as wll.

I know petsathome sell hutches which you can attach runs to. There doesn't seem to be a lot of hutches an druns combined anymore, I think it's because of safety for the animals and night time etc. I have a hutch and run seperate from each other, which seems to work quite well.

zooplus (online) have some very reasonably priced ones or try ebay.

Thanks for the advice all! I ended up getting a 5'x3' run with inbuilt hut shelter from eBay which was very reasonably priced (here). It arrived today and the piggies are out there at the moment looking very happy indeed. It's probably not suitable for overnight until it's a bit warmer I suspect since it's not off the ground but I can bring them in at night and over winter.
