I have the original square version of the Zippi pen (from 2 months’ back), not this one, and there have been some improvements. Because I have two bunny brothers who fell out of love after neutering, I have to adapt every Omlet product with a dividing wall. The original concept was that the Zippi runs would allow the bunnies to mow the lawn in sequence. I spent a lot of time moving the heavy outdoor run/ eglus around last year to find a fresh patch of grass free from bunny holes, so it’s a great idea. The bracing also looks good on this pen. I think the four by four panel version is actually big enough as a satellite pen. Your choice here is the anti dig skirt or the floor mesh to keep them safe from getting out/ foxes getting in.. The big pen had just the skirt, as it is very heavy and doesn’t lift in the wind, even with a cover. I’m a bit concerned that this is relatively light and needs the Omlet ground pegs to secure it (I’ve not tried them yet). They did dig under the dividing wall with no skirt to pursue their quarrel (even through drought baked clay in 2018). However I’m not too sure if the undermesh version I have will cause sore hocks (having come across an indoor rabbit via Twitter who got this condition on carpet- no more vet bills, please!) The cut out panel is brilliant, having spent an afternoon with a pair of hefty pliers cutting the mesh for two doors (ouch). Proud lawn owners need to loosen up a little. My furry under gardeners are improving the drainage and adding fertiliser, although you do need a few bags of topsoil AND grass seed to use as bunnyfiila after you move a run. The tunnel system has to run from A to B to be of use, but the new bigger pen does mean a larger initial outlay when tunnel accessories like the pop ups provide important play value. The system itself works indoors and out and it has made the boys much happier in their winter quarters.

The extra run door was so simple to install and really makes it a lot easier to clean out the run of our Eglu Go. Also useful for being able to reach trickier corners. You'll need wire cutters to fit this but they're generally very cheap and easy to find. We love this.

This is a great way of getting the bits when you are trying to puzzle out a new system. They all come individually packed though. Currently this is used for a hutch to small pen set up. However if you have young sneaky rabbits like my pair, you’ll quickly see the virtue of having an isolation door at each end. The 90 degree bend is really important in my layout as those straight tubes only do gentle bends (I needed a second one though).

It’s been a long haul, but I’ve finally got there. We have 2 Dutch bunnies who are separated AFTER getting neutered but like seeing each other. They adore their Omlet outdoor run plus eglus (hate being inside), but need to be in a double hutch in the garage in the winter cold. I have finally set up a divided run with a tunnel run each to the (early) Omlet play pen across the single garage width. The tunnels actually only bend slightly, and those 90 degree corners and angled connectors are very important. The smarter shyer bunny is in the top half of the hutch, but has no issues with scrabbling up the ridged tunnels, which have to be on a diagonal (took him 5 minutes of testing). I am now debating whether to cut down a length of tube so that the full garage width is exploited. I’ve learned that you should always install a full closing door at the ends for isolation, and should have an unistalled door or a connector with a homemade blanking plate for adjustments. The bunnies went from sulks to joy instantly. Come summer, the whole tunnel system moves outside to the lawn.

We are loving our walk in chicken run. A fox has been seen around but so far he has had no success. We did decide to lock them in the eglu every night after we saw the fox- helps us sleep well! The chooks are loving the space and it means that we hang out with them which is fun. We are empty nesters so the chickens are our new kids. A very well designed product and great quality.

The elgu go is a great product i bought mine 2nd hand and was my 2nd Eglu. The eglu is super easy to clean and only takes me 5 mins to clean out with a pressure washer. Suprisingly its super easy to move around the garden by lifting it up at the end of the run. Its good now though as Omlet sell wheels that can go with it and some people have said they work well. There is plenty of space in the run for the girls but if you have four chickens in there i wold recomend to get an extensin of 1 metre, and also there is plenty of space for 4 hens in the eglus house. over all this is a great product and i would recomend.

I bought the eglu cube 3 months ago and it is a great product. its super easy to clean with the slide out dropping trays, especially with a pressure washer it only takes me 5 minsto clean out, And the eggport door is super handy to keep the nest box clean ( and saves money ). Also it is really easy to move around the garden. but i found if you are going up a hill it can be a little more challenging, but its usually fine. overall a really good product and worth every penny

My other half brought my girls the Eglu with the 2m run as a Christmas present as the local rats or Red mites had put pay to the last three homes the girls have had. It took us about 5 hours altogether to essemble it as we kept stopping for hot Chocolate breaks, as you do in the cold. All the parts were there and it fitted together pretty well. We had the same problem with the run clips as other reviewers had mentioned so I did resort to cable tying as well. We are very happy with the end result and so far so are the girls.

This is my 3rd Omlet chicken house having got fedup with badly made wooden houses and red mite! I like being able to stop hens sleeping in nestbox overnight (clean eggs) and ease of cleaning and being able to hose houses out. Fairly straight forward to construct on my own ( in my 70s) Only problem is getting hens to leave their overcrowded wooden house and move into the Cube! Some hens don't know how well off they are!
