dog crates sale image
Darkhallow
I've been looking around for a cheap out door hutch for my guinea pigs during spring/summer, and found a rather large dog crate for sale... with some adjustments, could I turn it into a guinea pig hutch?
Answer
It depends what type of dog crate. I would most definitely not try it is the dog crate was previously used by a dog, as the scent (even if it was washed) will scare the animals.
This type will not work ---> http://blog.timesunion.com/bark/files/2009/06/dog-crate.jpg
But this type should. ---> http://www.extralargedogcrateshop.com/images/DogCrate.jpg
Just make sure there are no big openings or loose wires/cables that a dog wouldn't be affected by but a Guinea Pig would. Good Luck!

Where is the best place to buy a dog crate?

I've been looking for a dog crate for my beagle/ basset hound but everywhere is so expensive! I bought a mesh one from walmart but she ripped that right up. Even Walmart for a cheap one is min 50 dollars for crappy quality! I keep looking on ebay but they are all too expensive too. If anyone knows of any place to buy a good quality dog crate for less money please let me know. Thanks!

You could try posting it as a need on freecycle.org...you could post a "want to buy" on craigslist.com, or you could try local rummage sales. Do any of your local radio stations have a program to buy/sell/trade items?
A crate is going to cost in the $50-$100 range for that size. I bought a nice one at Sportsman's Warehouse for my toy dog that was reasonably priced. Tractor Supply used to have the best prices on crates. Check out farm stores/hunting supply stores in your area for crates...they often have lower prices on pet supplies (and they are often much higher quality, as well).
