I am looking into buying another outdoor run for my piggies, now the weather is warming up,

I'd like a square or rectangle one but the ones I have seen are really expensive, and not good quality:(


I was wondering if anyone could recommend a run that is sturdy, reasonable price and not triangle shape as I find them hard to catch!

If you have any pics that would be great to! thanks:))
 
I have this one:

Its got £10 off at the moment :) I have found it to be a fantastic run for my boys, spacious folds up, and has a huge lid which makes catching them very easy.

Its also got a side 'door' which means you can extend it (buying another run) or attach it to a hutch :) Its also light weight and easy to set up!
 
Everyones gonna have their favourites, but heres mine

Its nice and big to stretch their legs out 7ft by 4ft and a hay box type hut can also be purchased to add onto the outside of the run and space isnt compromised

I've got 3 of these now, and I drag them around the lawn to move them about.
Not cheap cheap, but worth the investment

This is the lowest priced one I have seen advertised
:)
 
I too am looking for a non pricey run! They seem very overpriced for what they are tbh...
 
I think its hard to come across a good quality cheap run unless you look at ebay/preloved/paper ads:( You could always make your own....we made one for £30 all together including wood/ nails/ mesh etc. it was made years ago though so looks a bit shabby!

I have the same as Audioheart and they're great runs, really solid and strong and a good size for guinea pigs :)

I also have the one that Salt and Pepper's mum has, for my rabbits, but I'd be wary of using it for smallish guinea pigs (like females who aren't huge) because the bar spacing is a little wide. But I've never tried it with guinea pigs, It is huge though, I really love it
 
I've got the set up that salt n peppers mum has too and it's fabulous. Well worth money as it's quite robust.
 
Thanks everyone so much your photos are great, thanks for taking the time to put them on I like all those runs:))

I have my eye on the first one with the heart catches, so may get one of those-c
 
i bought mine off ebay from a local man who makes them for local pet shops but has got fed up with how much they mark up the price. I bought a collapsible wooden run square for £30.00 not sure if he posts that is the only thing, check out ebay.
 
Thanks for sharing the photos everyone!

I have bitten the bullet (and used me credit card hee hee!) and ordered a nice big metal one from Ebay with sunshade. You watch the weather change to snow and ice now.........!
