Pets@home Playpen?

[Maisy and Poppy]

Hi, has anyone used the pets@home playpen? I am thinking about using it for my piggies when they come in in the mornings and afternoons. Do you recommend a different one?
Thanks!

Do you mean this one?

If so I have this one, I use it as a run in summer, it's a good little pen, easy to move around and put away, can be a little fiddly to put up though!

 

[Maisy and Poppy]

Yes, I do! Thanks for the the info I will also use it in the garage when I clean the cage out! I was wondering if the guinea pigs can escape from this easily as lots of reviews on other playpens say that their guinea pigs have escaped!

I use this run when my piggies have their floor time..http://m.zooplus.co.uk/shop/small_pets/runs_fencing/73280/6_sided/278253 it looks bigger in the picture than what it actually is so I have 2 and put them together. I like this because the sides are not too high up so you are not towering over piggies to get to them or to put something in the run. It folds up so easy stores and its very cheap

Wow, that is way cheaper than the pets@home one!

Yeh it sure is. I have taken a photo of minewith one of my piggies next to it so you can get a rough idea..


It is small but it does a great job. 1 run would be too small though, sometime I put mine up against their cage as it can be tricky attaching a water bottle as its small but I have managed to attach a water bottle using tie wraps so it works fine for me

I have 2 of the Zooplus runs, so I can do various sizes or 2 runs for my 5 piggies!

I use two of these joined together. I bought mine when there was 30% off. You can get similar ones on eBay. These are 8 panels long but some are only 6.

I use this kind of pen...

It is really easy to use and folds away to small size with own carry bag. It has a removable base so can be used indoors and your floor will be protected or can be put on grass and piggies can munch away. Hope this helps at all.

That looks ideal for using indoors ( or in a garage @Maisy and Poppy ). Personally, I'd want something a bit more sturdy for outdoor use .
