Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers!

Do my guinea pigs really need a hutch cover?

Guinea pigs are more sensitive to cold and damp than many owners realise. A hutch cover keeps rain, wind, and frost off the hutch, keeping bedding dry and reducing draughts. It also protects the timber from weather damage, extending the life of your hutch. If your guinea pigs live outdoors, a cover is one of the most worthwhile additions you can make, especially in autumn and winter.
Will the cover fit my hutch?

Our fitted covers are designed for specific Home & Roost hutch models, so they match the dimensions exactly with no gaps for wind or rain to get through. Check the product page to find the cover matched to your hutch. If you're unsure which one you need, contact us, and we'll point you in the right direction.
What's the difference between a rain cover and a thermal cover?

A rain cover is a waterproof outer layer that shields your hutch from rain, wind, and frost. A thermal cover is a padded inner layer that helps retain heat inside the hutch during cold weather. For the best winter protection, use both together — the thermal layer underneath and the rain cover on top. Guinea pigs feel the cold quickly, so the combination makes a real difference on bitter nights.
Can I still feed and clean without removing the cover?

Yes. Our covers have roll-up front panels so you can access the hutch doors without taking the whole thing off. Feed, clean, and check on your piggies with the cover still in place — then roll the panel back down when you're done.
Will the cover blow off in strong winds?

The covers fasten with Velcro straps that hold firm in windy conditions. For very exposed locations, make sure all straps are secured tightly. Some customers in particularly windy spots add a brick or weight on top of the roof section for extra security, but most find the Velcro holds well on its own.
Does the clear front panel let my guinea pigs see out?

Yes. The front panel is made from clear waterproof material, so your piggies can still see the world even when the cover is down. It keeps rain out whilst letting light through, so they don't feel shut away during bad weather.
Should I use a cover in summer too?

Yes — a cover is useful year-round. In summer, it provides shade from direct sun, which is important as guinea pigs can overheat quickly. It also protects against sudden rain showers and shields the hutch timber from UV damage. Roll up the front panel for ventilation on warmer days and drop it down when the weather turns.
How long do the covers last?

Most customers get two to three years of regular outdoor use from a cover, depending on how exposed your garden is. The covers are made from durable, water-resistant material designed for British weather. When yours eventually needs replacing, the same model is available to order again.
Can I use a rabbit hutch cover on a guinea pig hutch?

If the hutch model is the same, yes. Many of our hutches are used for both rabbits and guinea pigs, and the covers are designed to fit specific hutch models regardless of which pet lives inside. Just match the cover to your hutch model, and it will fit perfectly.
Do I need to do anything to maintain the cover?

A little care goes a long way. After heavy rain, use a brush to sweep any standing water off the roof section of the cover to prevent pooling and reduce wear. Give it a wipe down occasionally to remove dirt and debris, and check that the Velcro fastenings are still gripping firmly. The covers work hard day after day in all conditions, so keeping on top of these small things will help yours last longer.

What People Are Saying...

Wonderful product & great company

It was such a great experience!

I was concerned that it would not be possible for me, an 82yr old lady,no good at DIY. to put it together - but it just needed a Philips screwdriver and it was easy!

They were so helpful with advice and instruction and wow - British made - wonderful - superb bird feeder and cheap!

Both the hutch and run are fantastic

We purchased the 6ft Chartwell Double Rabbit Hutch along with the 6ft Heavy Duty Rabbit Run with Burrow Portal and Tunnel for our two rabbits.

Both the hutch and run are fantastic – excellent quality, very spacious for our bunnies, and easy to clean.

Thanks again, James!

Best hutches around

Best hutches and cat hideouts around I was led to believe when buying flat pack cages that they would all break in a month or so which is normally been the case.

But since using home and roost with them being A British made company everything Is a lot better quality all the panels are solid they are easy to put together but we definitely ordering more from you in the future❤️

Quality product, quality customer service!

We are extremely impressed with the service and products from Home & Roost. We were in urgent need of our new hutch, so upon speaking with customer service.

They arranged to send our hutch on an order separate to the rest of our ordered items, at no extra charge!.

A quality product, with quality customer service.

High quality item with high quality service

Initial issue with delivery date, but this was sorted quickly and professionally. The catio is well made and survived all the storms we’ve had in the recent months - it never moved.

The quality is much higher than others I’ve seen, I would definitely recommend purchasing from them.
Excellent product and excellent service.

All Round Great Company

I ordered the wrong hutch (I wanted a double but ordered the 2 tier) and also without realising I ordered the wrong size vinyl flooring.

The warehouse staff anticipated I had made a mistake with the flooring size and sent the one I needed.

The after sales service was excellent with helping me get the hutch I wanted

Couldn’t fail this company

Their website, delivery, instructions everything was beyond perfect. Note, wood is very strong so you will need a small drill. Can do by screwdriver though not recommended.

Hutch is beautiful and especially the design. Definitely using this company over pets at home from now on, wish I knew of you guys earlier!

Great product and fantastic customer service

Brilliant to find a Made in Britain company. I can be pretty sure that the making processes will do least harm to the environment, help protect our wildlife and countryside, and support local UK businesses.

Something made in China probably fails to meet any ethical standards that we consider vital . Well done Home and Roost. I'll be back!

Solid well-made hutch

The order process was straightforward - initially, the hutch was shown as back-ordered, but it was fulfilled and dispatched earlier than the website said.

Regular updates for the delivery - so I was able to reschedule to a convenient date.

Service and professionalism

Great product and keenly priced, swift dispatch, but let down by the courier, who managed to damage a key component.

A quick email exchange of some photos and Alan and his team had a replacement on its way the same day!!

I cannot fault the service and professionalism of Home & Roost.

The product is fantastic and of exceptional quality. Thankyou

All the products we have purchased are good quality and built to last.. These are built to be good for years to come!

Five stars!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
