The outdoor enclosure is brilliant. I'm 15 and was able to set it up on my own without any trouble. It was delivered within 3 days. Would definitely recommend it.

I bought this run a couple months ago and although it is a great size it was very hard to put together and a find it very flimsy and dont feel safe leaving my bunnies in it unattended at all

I have the enclosure set up in the flat, sort of as a cage replacement. When I’m at home, I sometimes open a door so the rabbits can come out. And here’s the only point I have to criticise: the ends of the bars under the doors feel quite sharp-edged to me, so I’ve now placed a small cushion over them just in case, to prevent anyone from getting hurt when jumping out. I managed to assemble it on my own despite the minimalist instructions :-)

This run is a good size and is perfect for my rabbits. They can't escape and cats can't get in. Very happy with this run.

I added a little hut at the end where both dwarf rabbits can retreat. But they’re far too curious... It’s the perfect run, and even at night, when it’s nice, they love sleeping outside. If I had the space, I’d combine it with a second one.

I bought the outdoor enclosure along with the Kerbl Alpine Hut, and both the guinea pigs and I are very satisfied. To make it secure against martens, I also lined the bottom with mesh and fixed it in place—I used an older outdoor enclosure I already had for this purpose, and then covered it with a thick layer of pine bark. The distance between the mesh bars on the inside is 3cm, and from the outer bar to the next is 3.5cm—I think and hope that no marten can get through there. So, I would definitely buy it again...

Unfortunately, a marten can get through at 3.5 cm. But it's fine for daytime use.

We ordered the enclosure back then and set it up as an outdoor run attached to the garden shed where our pair of rabbits live, so they can hop out of the house into the enclosure through a cat flap. However, it doesn’t prevent escapes, as they simply dig in front of the bent metal edge on the ground and tunnel underneath it. A rabbit outdoor enclosure should always be surrounded by a border, e.g., metal or stone, buried about 40cm deep in the ground to make it 99% escape-proof!! I would still buy it again and modify it...

For my two guinea pigs, I now have two of these enclosures, which can be placed next to each other and form a great unit together with the large, two-storey cage from Trixie. I can rearrange them again and again so that the two always have fresh grass. They are easy to set up and can also be moved on my own by simply opening the roof, stepping inside, and carrying them to a new spot. I've had my first outdoor enclosure for about 4.5 years, and it's still in very good condition. Because I was so satisfied, I bought a second one about 2 years later. However, after a short time, it started rusting in some places and also bending. If you place both side by side today, the older one, which has been outside through all the winters, actually looks newer.

This run is ideal for my rabbits in winter when I have to cage them in case of foxes, (they usually have the run of the back garden) It is very strong - they have nibbled their way through wood and chicken wire cages and dug under gates in the past. I have recommended similar cages, and Zoo Plus, to friends setting up for a pet guinea-pig or bunny. The service and speedy delivery were also excellent. My rabbits are now very large and I am buying a second cage as I know I will be able to put them together to make a much larger run! Thankyou Zoo Plus :)

This is a fantastic run which I have used for both guineapigs and rabbits. It is spacious enough to put a small shelter in and the escape barrier is really useful as my guineapigs have managed to push their way under other runs.

Superb enclosure. Finally, an enclosure that's escape-proof. The only thing that could be improved is having a continuous mesh at the bottom. Since I have little escape artists, I've added a continuous mesh underneath. This makes it 100% secure both inside and out.

The enclosure is spacious and secured all around – it's perfect for my six guinea pigs to graze for a few hours during the day in summer :) However, the digging protection was completely bent in two places, and it took both of us quite a bit of effort to fix it. But once that was sorted, the rest of the assembly was a breeze, as long as you're not all thumbs :) I'd buy it again! Curious to see how it holds up in the rain in terms of rust – we'll see :)

Finally, a practical and escape-proof enclosure that can't be gnawed on either! One thing that could be improved is having a complete mesh on the bottom. That would make it 100% escape-proof and intrusion-proof. I've been keeping rabbits for 15 years now, and this is the only enclosure where they truly can't escape, provided the entire bottom is meshed.

The cage is easy to assemble. You can manage it on your own. Unfortunately, one side of the escape guard was jammed and could only be folded down with brute force. (Possibly wedged during transport.) Catching the animals is relatively difficult with such a large cage. Other than that, the cage is very spacious and meets my expectations. I would buy it again.

I spent ages looking for an escape-proof enclosure for my two rabbits. They've been hopping around in this one for almost a week now, and neither of them has dug a hole yet. :D In terms of size, it's really spacious and offers more than 2 square metres of space. The height is also sufficient for them to stand upright. The assembly instructions are a bit sparse, but you can figure out how the parts fit together. Unfortunately, the roof isn't as easy to open as the description here suggests. You have to undo several cuffs and similar fastenings to gradually fold the roof back. It's quite impractical if you just want to put the animals back in their hutch in the evening. A fixed flap in the roof would be more practical and easier to open. I'm deducting one star for this drawback. Otherwise, we're very satisfied, and the metal parts seem sturdy enough to last a long time. The enclosure can be easily anchored into the ground using the stakes, and just as easily, you can pull them out again to move the enclosure around on the grass. The included sunshade also does its job well as a provider of shade.
