5ft Double Hutch and Hutch Hugger™ Rain Cover Bundle

This bundle pairs our 5ft Double Hutch with the Hutch Hugger™ rain cover cut to fit. The hutch is a two-tier timber home for rabbits or guinea pigs, measuring 153cm wide, 65.5cm deep and 130cm tall. Both arrive in one order with free delivery, and no measuring is needed.

Why this pairing works

• Made to fit. The Hugger is designed for this 5ft double hutch, so it sits snugly from day one.
• More room on two floors. A sturdy ramp links two levels for play, exercise and rest.
• Dry through the wettest months. Rain and wind stay off the timber, the bedding and the food.
• Clean without uncovering. The clear front lifts or rolls up for easy access.

Built for wet British winters

Autumn storms and weeks of drizzle are hard on any outdoor hutch. Driving rain soaks the bedding, and wind whistles through the mesh. Fit the Hutch Hugger™ as soon as the hutch is built, and your pets start life in their new home drier and with greater protection from the elements.

Inside the 5ft Double Hutch

The side panels are 10mm timber and the floors are 13mm plywood, a solid combination that holds warmth well. A robust bedding door closes off a cosy arched sleeping area. The whole hutch is treated with a pet-safe preservative. Built-in legs keep it off damp ground and let air circulate underneath.

Upgraded mesh with half-inch squares and strong bolts on every door are designed to keep predators out. Swivel kick-boards make sweeping out old bedding quick. A central wire panel gives you an easy place to hang a water bottle.

How the Hutch Hugger™ works

Fitting takes a couple of minutes. Hook the straps under the rear legs, drop the Hugger over the hutch, then adjust the straps and press the Velcro closed.

The clear front window lets you check on your pets at a glance. When it's time to feed or clean, lift or roll up the front. The cover stays in place, so there's no wrestling it back on every day. Dry bedding lasts longer and dry food stays fresher, which saves money across a winter.

Who is this bundle for?

The 5ft Double Hutch suits a bonded pair of rabbits or a small group of guinea pigs that need a little more space. Rabbits need daily exercise beyond the hutch, so we recommend pairing it with one of our rabbit runs, such as the Apex 7ft Galvanised Run. Guinea pig owners can find matching space in our guinea pig runs.

The Hugger handles rain and wind. For extra warmth on frosty nights, add the Hutch Snuggle™ thermal cover underneath, or choose our 5ft Double Hutch and Thermal Cover Bundle.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Will the Hutch Hugger™ fit the 5ft Double Hutch exactly?
Yes. The Hugger in this bundle is made for the 5ft Double Hutch at 153 x 65 x 123cm, so you don't need to measure anything before ordering.

Can I clean the hutch without taking the cover off?
Yes. The clear front window lifts or rolls up, giving you full access to the doors for feeding and cleaning. The cover stays strapped in place.

Should I choose the 4ft, 5ft or 6ft double hutch?
All three have two tiers and a ramp. The 4ft (123.5cm wide) suits smaller gardens. The 5ft (153cm wide) gives extra floor space on both levels. The 6ft (180cm wide) offers the most room. Whichever you choose, rabbits also need daily access to a run.

Is this hutch warm enough for rabbits or guinea pigs outside in winter?
The 13mm floors and timber panels hold warmth well, and the Hugger keeps out rain and wind. For cold snaps, add the Hutch Snuggle™ thermal cover under the Hugger and move the hutch to a sheltered spot out of the prevailing wind.

Does the hutch need assembling?
The hutch arrives flat-packed with simple instructions. The Hugger needs no assembly and straps on once the hutch is built.
