What a week for bargains. I brought a 6ft run for £35 brand new (other 6ft on ebay £80.) and brought the girls a rabbit 140 cage for £50 second hand. I put the run together and it was great. Went back on the site and there was only one left! so i snapped that up to.

Anyway Lincolns has never been in a run before (when i 1st got him i was in a flat with now garden). I put him in the run and he rummbles and looks scared. He doesnt know what to do. he doesnt eat the grass or explore his in the same place when i go back to where he was before.
Any ideas how i can help him relax?
 
Silly question but has he got hidey holes? Also it may be an idea to cover part of the run as i know piggies are nervous of anything above...

I cannot wait until summer comes around again and my lot can run around on the grass:))
 
Yes, make sure that he has somewhere to run and hide if he wants to ... it's their instinct. They usually like to know that their heads are covered even if 2ft up above them, if you know what I mean.

Mine have a little wooden house in their runs, but on occasions it has been a Stella lager box :)):))
 
Can you place a blanket over the entire top, The sky can be daunting when you're not used to it
