That's usually how it goes!! though, my large indoor guinea pig cage will be plenty big enough for this year!

they are ideal especially if you give it a simple base, fill it with soil and plant seeds in it, planted now with weed seeds they should germinate when the weather gets warmer. If you intend to use it without a base then, like me, you'll have to keep a very close eye on tinies as they will disappear very quickly and don't forget to make a wired lid for it or use netting.

They'd struggle to disappear in my garden, it's all patio only 1 patch of chippings.

They're £59 in my wilko :-/ unless they sold out of the ones that were on offer. They only have the same as the ones online xx

When I got home, I had a look on line to see if I could add a link, but could not see any. Perhaps they were just "in store", well, in mine Mind you, look like they are made of decking board type stuff, sure it wouldn't be that expensive, or difficult, to buy the wood at your local DIY and screw 4 bits together

That's what I was thinking, when I need one I think I'll speak nicely to my step dad. He's a whizz with a saw and a screwdriver!! Lol xx
