Updated 4 hours agoA Guinea pig hutch in Caer-Estyn is an important aspect of proper care, as these adorable little creatures need space to explore and exercise, as well as a secure place to rest. These small animals have specific requirements when it comes to their living quarters, and investing in a suitable hutch can greatly improve their quality of life.
There are many types of Guinea pig hutches available in the market with different designs and materials. When selecting a hutch, it is crucial to consider factors such as size, ventilation, durability, and ease of cleaning. Guinea pigs need ample space to roam and exercise, so choosing a hutch that provides adequate room is essential. Additionally, a well-ventilated hutch can minimise the risk of respiratory issues and contribute to the overall health of your pet.
Materials used in the construction of the hutch should be durable and safe for your Guinea pig. Wooden hutches are a popular choice due to their sturdiness, but it is important to select one that uses non-toxic materials and finishes. The hutch should also be weather-resistant and easy to clean, as maintaining proper hygiene is vital in preventing diseases and ensuring your pet's comfort.
Taking all these factors into consideration, we have diligently researched and tested various Guinea pig hutches to bring you a list of top options that meet these requirements and provide a healthy and happy home for your furry friends.

1. Guinea Pig Outdoor Hutch on Legs
If you're searching for a compact yet functional hutch for your rabbits or guinea pigs, the BUNNY BUSINESS Double Decker on Legs might just be the right choice.
We recently tested out the BUNNY BUSINESS Rabbit Guinea Pig Outdoor Hutch, and we have to say that, for the most part, we were pleased with its performance. The tongue and groove construction is sturdy enough, and the fact that it's made from Fir Trees ensures that it's free from rough edges and splinters. The wood is already pre-treated with a pet-friendly wood preservative and stain, which adds durability against mould, insects, and rotting.
We particularly appreciated the design of this double-decker hutch. Our guinea pigs had ample room to move around between the two levels, which are connected by a ramp. The sliding trays made cleaning a breeze, and the hinged opening roof allowed for easy access when it came time to clean or interact with our pets. However, we did notice some chipping and splitting in the wood, which may be a concern if your pets enjoy chewing on their hutch.
Overall, our experience with the BUNNY BUSINESS Double Decker Hutch was positive. It's compact, easy to assemble, and provides a suitable living environment for rabbits and guinea pigs. However, it's essential to consider the size and chewing habits of your pets before purchasing, as it may not be suitable for larger breeds, and the wood may not hold up if your pets are prone to chewing on their home.
Features
Pros
- Compact design saving outdoor space
- Double-decker construction
- Easy to clean with sliding trays
Cons
- Sturdiness could be improved
- Not suitable for larger breeds of rabbits

Updated 4 hours ago2. 2-Tier Double Decker Guinea Pig Hutch
If you're seeking a multi-level, sturdy hutch for your guinea pigs, the BUNNY BUSINESS 4ft 2-Tier Double Decker Hutch is definitely worth considering.
We recently used the BUNNY BUSINESS 4ft 2-Tier Double Decker Hutch and found it to be a good choice for housing guinea pigs. The hutch features a double-decker design, catering to both the guinea pig's exploring and resting needs. The four full opening doors make it easy to access and clean the hutch, reducing the hassle involved in regular maintenance.
However, we did notice that the tray in the hutch was not as deep as we'd like it to be. A deeper tray would have made it more efficient in containing debris and mess generated by our guinea pigs. Additionally, when assembling the hutch, the instructions were unclear, making the process more difficult than it needed to be. It would have been helpful if the manufacturer provided clearer guidance.
One concern we had was the wood's vulnerability to our guinea pigs' nibbling. Over time, some wood sections broke away, leaving some minor damages. Despite these issues, the BUNNY BUSINESS 4ft 2-Tier Double Decker Hutch remains a solid option for guinea pig owners looking for a spacious and durable hutch. Moreover, the waterproof leg protectors add an extra layer of durability, ensuring the hutch lasts for years to come.
Features
Pros
- Four full opening doors for easy access
- Slide-out trays simplify cleaning
- Waterproof leg protectors enhance durability
Cons
- Low depth of the tray
- Assembly instructions are unclear

Updated 4 hours ago3. Guinea Pig Outdoor Hutch
This BUNNY BUSINESS Double Decker Hutch is a suitable option for small rabbits and guinea pigs, providing comfort and security
We recently set up this double decker hutch for our guinea pigs and are loving the practical design. The sliding trays and hinged opening roof make cleaning a breeze while the pet-friendly wood ensures our fur babies remain safe and happy.
Although assembly is required, the process was relatively simple with predrilled holes and easy-to-follow instructions. Once assembled, the hutch provided a cozy and secure space for our little critters. However, it's important to note that the hutch may not be suitable for larger rabbits, so make sure to consider its dimensions before making a decision.
Our only minor gripe is that the wood could be somewhat higher quality. Nevertheless, it's held up well so far and the positive features of the BUNNY BUSINESS Double Decker Hutch significantly outweigh this drawback. If you're looking for a solid hutch for your small pets, this one is worth considering!
Features
Pros
- Easy to clean with sliding trays
- Roof opens for hassle-free maintenance
- High-quality
Cons
- Requires assembly
- Not suitable for larger rabbits

Updated 4 hours ago4. Double Decker Wooden Guinea Pig Hutch with Play Area
If you're searching for a versatile and spacious enclosure for your small pets, the BUNNY BUSINESS Double Decker Hutch has much to offer while being mindful of its limitations.
We recently assembled the BUNNY BUSINESS Double Decker Hutch for our guinea pigs, and we're impressed by its design. The two-level arrangement provides an ideal playground, with a shaded area below for hot days and a cosy place to sleep above. Assembling the hutch was mostly straightforward, though we did notice a few small challenges, such as misaligned screw holes.
One of the key features we appreciate is the strong wire mesh surrounding the play area. It offers excellent protection against predators and makes us feel confident when leaving our pets alone. However, it may not be suitable for all weather conditions. We found adding extra shelter or placing the hutch under cover makes it more weather-resistant, ensuring our pets stay dry and comfortable.
Finally, the pull-out zinc tray underneath the sleeping quarters makes cleaning the hutch much easier, and we appreciate this convenient feature. However, it's worth mentioning that this hutch may not be suitable for larger rabbit breeds due to size limitations. Overall, we're pleased with our purchase, so long as future users are aware of its potential drawbacks and make necessary adjustments if required.
Features
Pros
- Ample space with play area and secure sleeping quarters
- Strong wire mesh to protect pets from predators
- Pull-out zinc tray for easy cleaning
Cons
- Screw holes may occasionally be misaligned
- May require additional weather protection

Updated 4 hours ago5. PawHut 2 Tier Wooden Rabbit Hutch
If you're looking for a durable and spacious guinea pig hutch, the PawHut 2 Tier Wooden Rabbit Hutch could be the right choice for you.
Our experience with the PawHut 2 Tier Wooden Rabbit Hutch has been mostly positive. Its solid wooden and metal frame gives it a more robust and durable construction than traditional wooden hutches. The water-resistant paint is safe for your pets, and the asphalt roof offers protection from the elements.
The hutch is split into two levels: the top level serves as an elevated living area, and the lower level offers a roomy play area for guinea pigs to frolic about. We appreciated how easy it was to open or close the middle board based on our requirements. The internal ramp conveniently connects the two floors, creating a comfortable environment for our furry friends to live and play.
Accessing and cleaning the hutch is also quite easy. The living area and run box feature lockable doors, while the roof is openable. A slide-out dropping tray further simplifies the cleaning process. However, be prepared for some assembly as this product does require it. One minor drawback we experienced was the somewhat flimsy backboards that may not be ideal for overly aggressive chewers.
Features
Pros
- Strong construction
- Two-floor design
- Easy access and cleaning
Cons
- Assembly required
- Flimsy backboards
- May not suit excessive chewers

Updated 4 hours agoBuying Guide
As fellow guinea pig enthusiasts, we know how important it is to find the perfect hutch for our furry friends. In this buying guide, we will provide you with essential factors to consider when choosing a guinea pig hutch, ensuring that you make an informed decision.
Size and Space
One of the most important features to assess is the size of the hutch. Guinea pigs need sufficient space to move around, explore and exercise. Consider how many guinea pigs you have, and ensure that the hutch provides adequate room for them all. Look for hutches with multiple levels, as this provides additional space and stimulation for your pets.
Materials and Construction
The materials and construction of the hutch play a significant role in its durability and safety. Opt for a hutch made from robust materials, such as treated wood or metal frames. These materials offer longevity and protection against extreme weather conditions. Additionally, good quality wire mesh and secure latches are essential for preventing your pets from escaping and protecting them from potential predators.
Indoor vs Outdoor Hutches
When choosing a guinea pig hutch, consider whether it will be placed indoors or outdoors. Indoor hutches typically require a smaller footprint, while outdoor hutches need to be well insulated and weather resistant. If you live in an area with fluctuating temperatures or harsh weather conditions, an indoor hutch with occasional access to an outdoor enclosure may be the best solution for your pets.
Accessibility and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and maintenance are vital for keeping your guinea pigs healthy and comfortable in their hutch. Look for a hutch with easy access, such as removable trays, large doors, or panels that can be opened. This will make the cleaning process more efficient and prevent stress for both you and your pets.
Enrichment and Comfort
Lastly, don't forget about the importance of providing enrichment and comfort for your guinea pigs. A quality hutch should include hiding spaces, ledges, ramps, and other play areas. Also, ensure that there is plenty of soft bedding and a designated space for food and water.
