Free: Guinea pig shelter - NOT a hutch (Kings Heath B14) NOTE: this is not a hutch and is much too small to use as the main accommodation for a guinea pig! It's also too small even as a shelter for a dwarf rabbit. Offering a guinea pig shelter/hideout, which works well inside a garden run but could also be used in an indoor run. Just about fits two guinea pigs, giving them a place to shelter or hide. It's a bit tired but a guinea pig won't mind! Please let me know when you'd like to collect, and confirm that you understand this is just a shelter, not a hutch :) We're at the Moseley end of Kings Heath, off Valentine Road.
