I have three extremely happy guinea pigs! They’re almost skiing down the ramp and loving the popcorn onto the floor.
Also, I wanted to say that this was the easiest thing I’ve ever put together. The coloured dots are inspired and the predrilled holes make it so simple.
I have a question – can a third tier go on the top?
REPLY: Yes Rachel you can add another tier. We recommend a maximum of 3 stacked tiers. See our facebook page for some customer examples.

This is a perfect home for our two rescue guinea girl pigs. We have relatively small, but tall rooms in our house, so two tiers seemed a good way to go. It’s beautifully crafted, and was easy to assemble. We also got it on wheels, so during the working week the girls are wheeled into the home office, and at the weekend they’re wheeled into the family room at the back of the house. I’ve knocked one star off purely because the ramps, as beautifully made as they are, are too steep and slippery for our girls. We had to line them with carpet before they would use them, and occasionally need to put a block under the end of the larger ramp to lessen the gradient, or have to put two play tunnels (made of fleece) along the length of the ramp to encourage them to use it. That said, this may just be our girls and that other piggies wouldn’t be so fazed by it. We also need to install a balcony along the edge of the loft hatch as they keep rolling their rigid play tunnel into it and blocking it up. But it’s a fab cage, and everyone who’s seem it has admired it!
REPLY: Thanks Rachel for the constructive feedback about the ramp – we’ve already made design changes as a result of your comments.

I originally ordered this 2 tier hutch, but then changed my order to a 180cm x 60cm single tier hutch – perfect for 3 guinea pigs. Its fantastic and great quality! Got absolutely super service throughout as well.
