Just thought id create a thread for people to post pigtures of their outdoor/indoor runs. Will post one of mine a little later when I'm able to use the camera. Lets get as many as poss!
 
My boys' home made run. Not sure of the dimensions but it's plenty big enough for them.

Well, my Dad did. He made two because at the time the boys weren't getting on. Now the next door neighbour has the second one for his two guinea pigs and they've ruined it! :(

I would post a picture but I don't know how to upload pictures here. I can describe my run, right? Okay, well my Grandad actually made the run as he's quite skilled in wood work. He's also built my new hutch as well! Anyway, I sometimes put orange cones in the run, and upside down portable chair so it acts kind of like a tunnel and then a cardboard box with a couple of holes in. Piggies are actually out in the run now! -c

Hehe! If you go on photobucket or tinypic and upload a photo there, if you then copy the IMG code and paste it here you pic should show! There's a sticky in the technical help section if I didn't explain it very well!

Hmmm, thanks but I don't have access to a camera. I do but it's a lot of hassle to upload one picture :)) Ahhh, well, I've given you a picture in your mind! And if you're wondering how I got my profile picture, that was because I had it on my phone! :))

Yes they do.

I want to ask... How big run would you say is ok for them? They don't get to use the run that often as it is so big and can only be moved around a few times before the grass is right down.
I would like a touch smaller one for them so they can go out more often.

Personally i would use anything smaller than 5 by 4 for 2 piggies as mine love to run laps of their run and popcorn, however 4x4 is ok for 2 ... and much smaller and easier to use. I have a 4x4 I'm using as a temp run at the moment, i'll get a pic of it with 2 pigs in to show you (and of my other runs)
 
Well for my 2 pigs I have a 3ft x 4ft for them and that seems plenty big enough. I brought it online for only £39 including p&p. I will find the link for you if you would like?
 
This is my girls outdoor run which they use when weather permits. I detach the run and place it on the lawn when the grass is dry. From their cage indoors they can hear me setting up the run and wheek with excitment! :(|)

The 6x4 run ... (with mystery piggies!)

8 x 4 for the trio

The 4x4 one, not a bad size for 2 but it weighs a ton!

I like folding runs so i can put them away easier.
 
Mine's 18ft x 6ft, Made using old fencing sections. It's a got a lot more pipes in now. ;)

I think I will stick to my current run then... especially as I have another piggie on the way! :)
 
Here's Poppy and Billie's run! :D

It's two joined together. One was my old rabbit run (it wasn't big enough for them) and the other I got with Poppy. :D It normal has tubes and a hideout.
