Pets are a member of our family, and we need to protect them as one of our own. And while rabbits and guinea pigs live outside, they should definitely not be out of mind. We need to invest in a good standard of living quarters for our pets and, equally, we need to invest in protecting these living quarters.
We get a huge amount of enjoyment out of pets, and for young children it can be a source of joy and companionship, as well as introducing a sense of responsibility. Most rabbits and guinea pigs can co-exist in the same cage, and also do so over the winter period, but whether you move your rabbits and guinea pigs inside over winter or leave them outside all year round, your rabbit and guinea pig hutch needs protecting.
The importance of protecting your rabbit and guinea pig hutch
Unlike dogs and cats, a rabbit or guinea pig isn’t a domestic pet. This is mainly due to noise and smell and because they can’t be trained in domestic habits. So, we have to invest in a cage which, like most things in modern life, are now much larger and more luxurious than in the past. It is very common to find two-tier rabbit and guinea pig hutches with an area to run, a staircase and separate sleeping quarters. The result is a pretty big construction and a significant investment.
Most rabbit and guinea pig hutches are made from wood, and while these can be protected from the elements using stains and treatments this does not adequately protect them in the long term. That is why you need to invest in a cover for your rabbit or guinea pig hutch, which will act to protect the construction of the hutch from damp and rain, but can also provide important insulation and warmth, and can protect your pet from extreme winds, if you keep them outside over winter.
Our range of rabbit and guinea pig hutches
Many people make their own rabbit or guinea pig hutch, but even if you buy one, it can come in a great variety of sizes and shapes. We have a range of standard size covers for rabbit and guinea pig hutches, but you can also supply us with exact dimensions so that we can supply a made to measure rabbit and guinea pig hutch cover. This ensures that all the material is covered and your hutch and your pet are suitably protected from wind, rain, snow and freezing temperatures.
Our range of rabbit and guinea pig hutch covers have a clear zip-up front panel to retain visibility, but which protects your pet from the worst of the weather. Elsewhere the cover is made from strong and durable waterproof material, has sealed seams and also has eyelets and drawcords. This means you can secure it to your hutch and make the connection tight so that strong winds don’t loosen or dislodge the cover. We can supply covers for all types of hutch, single or double tier, rectangular and whether an apex roof or an angled roof.
