Verified Reviews for Eglu Go Guinea Pig Hutch

I bought an igloo guniea pig hutch for our 3 guniea pigs thinking that it would solve all our problems. I can fault the build of the hutch however I find the access to the pigs really tricky. with the 2m run its impossible to catch them because they just run up the other end and there is no top access so you have to clamber inside. The access from the back, which very convenient for feeding, I find tricky to get at them for worry of them escaping from the opening whilst it is down. I also think it is too small for 3 gunea pigs. Although we clean it out regularly it is alway a horrible, small mess. I'm sorry but I do wish I had taken up the 30 day return offer.

We have had guinea pigs for 2.5 years and I found it was always an effort to clean them and move around the backyard, as well as the worry of a metal cage being hot in summer and cold in winter. We have been using our Eglu for 2 months now and loving it. The guinea pigs are happier, safer and it is so much easier to clean and lock them up at night. Easy enough to put together the hutch, the cage took a little time with all of the clips. Delivery was so fast. I couldn't fault a single thing. I am extremely happy and it is probably my best purchase for 2016. Money well spent.

Absolutely perfect for my two male guinea pigs. Warm, dry and cosy. Couldn't be better. Thank you.

This is a brilliant hutch. Humans and guinea pigs love it. Bit of a struggle to build if doing it on your own as I did, but doable. I'd recommend getting someone to help if you can, and if not, persevere - it will get there.

I have found the Eglu guinea pig hutch perfect for 3 male guinea pigs who like their own space. Each pig gets a corner inside the Eglu and the 2m run allows us to place a hollowed out log inside for hiding under. Aesthetically it's perfect on green grass and we have made a metal structure to move it as needed.

Great little hutch for the girls :) slightly fiddly to put together (though I was doing it by myself...), easy to clean, sturdy, speedy delivery. It'd be nice to have a raised option with ramp for them to run up & down, but they've enjoyed the extra outdoor space, though they keep knocking the hay/bottle rack off the back door. Overall, very pleased with the upgrade to this from the old wooden one

love it! took a while to assemble it, partly due to me losing the instructions but Omlet emailed me a new set very quickly and our two guinea pigs are now very happy in their deluxe residence.

The hutch is great, easy to clean. I use it for my Rabbit, Pepper. The only thing that is difficult is moving it around the yard to a new grass area. If you could add a ramp for a rabbit to climb to use on the Eglu go up chicken coop that would be great and easy to move around the yard. Can't fault the product otherwise.

Bought this for two guinea pigs Positives - well constructed, solid, feel safe leaving them out all day when I go to work. Bought the additional heavy duty cover so that it protects the run from rain and it is also very well constructed. The pull out shelf for cleaning is the best part Cons: in the depth of winter you might not want to let your GPs out in the run but as there's no window/mesh like conventional hutches the GPs will be in the dark all day. The run doesn't detach so if anything requires removing from the run you have to climb in through the small door at the end. Ok if you're a child. The fact that it's on the floor means if you do want to get your GPs out its a bit more tricky than one a waist level. Queue a few chases round the garden as the GP escapes. Oh and the final point is that you really shouldn't put guinea pigs on metal bottoms and the 1metre GP metal run bottom doesn't detach so you really need the 2metre run option if you don't want to run the risk of bumble foot! More expense. Overall I'd still recommend this as the quality and positives outweigh the downsides. Pricey but built to last! I imagine it would outlive multiple wooden versions and it keeps its value for resale should you decide to sell. The accessories are worth buying including hay etc as omlet are actually cheaper than most other internet companies for the feeds etc.
