i used to have four guinea pigs who i put out in the on the lawn, in a Run with tunnels and a small Hutch. i put them out in most weathers, (Apart from cold wet days Ofc). it was a 6ft x 4ft rectangular run Made of a wooden frame and Chicken wire which had a plastic mesh top that we secured with ties, (Alot of faafff!) We got rid of our guinea pig run, as it started to rot.

I now have Four Guinea pigs, who live outside, in a Lovely 6ft Hutch. I want to be able to put them out on the Lawn for the day like i used to,- at the moment they are only out for an hour or so at a time in a small temporary run with no top, i sit the garden with them watching out for Birds of prey and Cats etc. My other Garden run was great, but i guess i was just lucky a foxes weren't around because I'm sure they could have got at them if he wanted to.. :... (Survived 10 years!)
i just wondered what you could suggest, because i don't want to risk loosing them, but would love to be able to put them out on the lawn so they can run about as much as they please..

i want something which is roughly 6x4 again.with a Good top! and easy access to catch them! i dont want it much Higher that 2/3 feet.. Bit Specific.. But anything to keep them Happy and Safe!

Any Info would be great! thanks xx
 
Have you looked on amazon and eBay? There's some great runs in there. How about something like this [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Galvanised-Rabbit-Guines-Enclosure-144x116x58cm/dp/B000V6C7DQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1339683316&sr=8-2"]Galvanised Rabbit / Guines Pig Enclosure with Roof 144x116x58cm: Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies[/ame] they do a bigger size too. Just type in Trixie run :)

Or if you would prefer a wooden one [ame="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Large-animals-Rabbits-Guinea-hardwearing/dp/B007RC5OKU/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1339683499&sr=8-10"]Large Run for small animals ideal for Rabbits and Guinea Pigs made from rigid hardwearing wood: Amazon.co.uk: Pet Supplies[/ame] :)

Missed out a Bit.. I would like to be able to move it around the lawn easily, and Fold it away in bad weather ( to prevent in rotting or weathering.. )

Thanks again xx
