Is this run suitable?

[Lessie]

Hi,

I just want to make sure, so is this run suitable for guniea-pigs?

http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/rodents/cages/pens_fencing/pens_with_racks/35638

If so is it worth buying?

It's currently on offer, so I'm quite tempted to buy one however only if it is safe and allowed for guinea-pigs.

Thanks

Sorry for some reason i can't view it........it's probably my internet tho as it took ages for it to open up..........
How many piggies is it for? If you look at the top under the housing threads you'll see lots of info on sizes recommended for piggies
again sorry i can't see it :red

hun i would say it was fine hun, only proble is the sun i would invest in the sun prtectpr as well, or the poor things will cook,

hi i agree looks suitable but would be wary of the sun

 

[Cookie22]

Yeah, it looks good. But yeah, some sort of protection over it would be useful to stop the sun

Wow! I would love a run like that, but I don't have the room or money. DIY will have to do for me

That's a great run wouldn't mind the big one for Misty and Cindy. Although I want to give them the run of the garden with my other two buns! Not sure though Tika was giving them evil looks this morning! But that would do for them!

Only thing is if you have tent pegs weigh it down with them. I use them on my runs (made out of grids) with a mesh covering over so they can't do olympic guineas and jump out.

We used to have a similar run to that and it wasn't very stable. The pins that went into the ground would bend and the joints between panels got very worn and if it wan't over completely flat ground the pigs learned to push against the weak parts and escape. We also had to cover the top completely as the net that comes with it gives no protection against teh sun and wouldn't deter an excited dog or cunning cat.

The one advertised may be from a different supplier bu the picture is not very clear.

Wow, this is very useful.. Thanks for sharing this and hoping I could implement it too.

i have this run and it is very good. The only problem i have with it is it is hard to get the pigs out of it as they run into the corner and is very hard to reach them!
