Verified Reviews for Eglu Go Guinea Pig Hutch

Great for having a pet which lives outside.

Bought for my daughters birthday. Easy to erect, and really easy for her to clean out the Guinea pigs on her own.

I bought this hutch after reading many reviews on line. It looks good and seems pretty much indestructible and really easy to clean. Only criticism is it was a pain to put it together and took me and my partner a good few hours. I don't think the instructions were the best and could probably be made clearer or online demonstrations. That aside once it's built it looks really good and does what it says I've only had it a few months and not been used in the cold winter months but I think it will be fine. I only use mines for my rabbit during the day as I bring her in at night and she doesn't seem to like going inside and sits out in the run the whole time she's out.

Great product as easy to keep clean, keeps the guinea pigs dry and does not rot. Pity it was such a pig to build though! Hutch goes together quite well and looks great (although Omlet - please sort out those unsightly sprue marks left on the outer panels!). However the cage is practically impossible to build if you follow the instructions. A short call to Omlet sorted the issue - top tip: build the run completely first and then attach to the hutch. Fiddly but not impossible. Apart from the build experience and the cosmetic issues on the panels I cannot fault it.

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.

We purchased this hutch for our large pet rabbit and it's great. It gives her the freedom of being on grass as well as the protection of a burrow. Importantly it is fox proof, a necessity for us. I love that we can close her den at night time without imposing on her space using the exterior knob.

Love the Eglu! My rabbit loves it too, very easy to clean although since moving in he has never soiled inside - instant toilet training! It is also very secure. The only negative is that it is a little heavy and needs 2 people to move it but I would never go back to the old style hutches!

Fantastic hutch, a dream to clean. Guinea Pigs seem very happy and secure. Very little mess, have the cold weather liners to use in winter too. The only downside is the outside. You can very clearly see several whites spots on it which do detract from the look of it all. I rang Omlet and was told it is where it has been held on production. I queried that the dots are not on the pictures on the website but was told that they are visible on the site. Well, if you zoom in MEGA close you can see faint dots on Some of the products but not all, and only on very close inspection. Sort out the look on the outside and it would be 5*!

Our three Guinea Pigs love their Eglu Go Guinea Pig Hutch with 1m run. It was easy to assemble although the run was a bit fiddly and it's easy to move around the garden. Our kids find it easy to get the animals in and out and it's simple to clean. A great improvement on traditional wooden hutches, for sure.

Excellent product and hoping for years of service. Well designed and made, not quite straightforward to construct and the rear and front top mesh run covers had to be re-shaped to fit correctly (designed in Britain but made in China). Only suggestion would be a handle to assist in the moving of the hutch and run. Can't fault it but think half the price would be more reasonable.
