60" Fully Folding Sheltered Rabbit Run Runs hutch hutches


Good but, needed changing for my needs
This run is solid build, and a good size. Unfortunately I found, when trying to move it around, it is completely unwieldy. The roof section screws to the walls, with hinges, to make the whole setup more permanent however, because the roof folds into itself and not over, trying to keep it open when catching bunny was not going to work. Also if the roof is screwed down the whole thing becomes almost impossible to move. Even trying to manoeuvre the roof onto the run, if it's not screwed down, is nigh on imposssible, without two people, because of the way it folds.

Luckily I had a solution. I unscrewed the middle hinges of the roof section and re-joined the two sections so that the roof folds over the top. This way I can have the roof half open, making catching bunny easier. Also, if I wanted to have the roof section loose on the walls, for easy moving, it makes the whole thing easier to take apart. I can now move and re-assemble it by myself.

All in all, with the...
Lovely Run
This is a lovely big run for a rabbit, has good shelter, took us a while to work out how the lid went on due to having the main run upside down at first. only dowside is that the little doors would do with a latch to stop cats and foxes opening it, we easily added one ourselves. Def recommend to others
Needed adjustment
Like previous reviewers we also had the run upside down for a moment and couldn't work out how to attach the top part. We bought this in Sept and it initially seemed good quality - we particularly liked the 'closed' section at the end providing a bit of shelter for my 2 guinea pigs. The run was also large enough for my 2 children (6 and 4) to sit in and cuddle the GP's, though they had to be careful not to hit their heads on the folded up bit of the roof.
However, the large size of the run and the fact that it folded meant that I struggled to move it to a new location each day easily - sure enough, after 3 months the whole back fell off. My husband solved the problem by screwing batons of wood onto the sides of the run so that it remained rigid and hopefully it won't fall apart again.
The design needs to be thought out a bit more carefully. The hinge mechanism for the roof should fold differently so that the roof could rest on the ground rather than fold upwards. As it...
