I decided to buy this for my indoor rabbit as he was outgrowing his indoor cage. This is great, he really enjoys being outside, plenty of room to run around. Keeps him warm at night inside too

This is a wonderful coup. Easy to move and easy to clean. It is well thought out, as are all the Omlet products and well made. Highly recommended.

I bought the pack of three, heavy duty wind protection covers to ho around the bottom of my eglu cube to make a shrelter for my chickens. It works very well, keeping the worst of the weather out and giving the girls somewhere to go when it rains. Each piece was quick and easy to fit onto the base of the eglu (I do not have a run) and has stayed in place even in strong winds. They do the job.

I have two Eglu Cubes and an Eglu Go-up, all with extensions, plus a Walk-in Run. The Omlet chicken pens are excellent. Easy to assemble, easy to take apart or add to. Solid construction when in place, but also easy to move to fresh positions. The houses are extremely comfortable. Mine so far have been through very strong winds, heavy rain, very cold frosts (-7, -8!) - the chickens have been snug inside, with no moisture penetration and no condensation. They are very easy to clean, the trays slide out, litter replaced, floors wiped, reassembled, all in a matter of minutes with little effort at waist height. The nesting areas are appealing to the hens. Being in an area with many foxes, security is vitally important - the runs are themselves very fox-resistant with their strong mesh and extended “apron", but in addition, being able to shut the chickens in at night (from outside the house without disturbing chickens who have gone to bed) with-fox proof doors makes me able to sleep easy at night! The clear plastic covers for the pens are excellent in providing rain protection while letting in light. Omlet chicken runs are ideal for small flocks of chickens.

I ordered a 3x3x2 cat cage on the Monday thinking I would have a couple of weeks to prepare a site. The pack arrived on the Friday; just four days to get to the east coast of Tasmania. My wife was over the moon, not only that; she read somewhere in the instructions it would only take one and a half hours to construct. I would like to meet the person who wrote that. The instructions were easy to follow, and plastic fasteners used to hold the cage together were quite simple to clip on – they can be clipped using just one hand which is useful while holding the cage panels together with other hand, in fact after a while I was able to clip the fasteners with my eyes closed, which turned out to be useful when finishing the cage assembly late into the evening. I would so like to meet that person who reckons one and a half hours. This cage has been designed for a perfectly flat base while most sites would have some slope or other. I used earth sods to build a level footing – will it last? – I believe Offer’s Dyke was built with earth sods, (I wouldn’t recommend sods for chicken enclosures; chickens are the ideal machine for breaking up sods) but I digress. Because of the raised footing, I dispensed with the perimeter base mesh, and instead used some 70x35 treated pine attached to the cage by means of some simple home made screwed clips. To summaries: [1] Instructions, - Adequate. [2] Tools & Fasteners; - Only tool required is a philips head screw driver for the gate latch, - More than enough clips for the job [3].Quality, - Workmanship on the whole generally good, welding a bit sus around the gate latches. [4] Product – No pieces missing, Good quality coating. The plastic clips are not described as UV stabilised – surely Omlet wouldn’t overlook this, would they?. Also there is a design challenge here for a structure that can be built on sloping ground. Here’s a tip for potential cat cage owners: Because this is a lightweight cage I would suggest that any covers (shade or rain) be used, they should not be attached only to the cage, for a decent gust of wind could see it in the neighbour’s garden.

Hi We purchased a cat run about 3 months ago and our cat loves it. He waits at the back door to go outside, its fantastic we can look our our windows to check on him. It is so secure that I know he can not get out. our cat is nearly 8 years old and up until now we haven't let him outside. He enjoys watching the birds,seeing the sunshine and all the noises that come with being outside. I would recommend it to any cat lover and you have the piece of mind that it is very secure.

I have only given this four stars as I think it needs another eyelet for a bungee strap in the middle. I have had to put a large stap from one side over the top to the other as the middle flaps in the Cornish wind. Other than that it is a super quality product as I have plenty of weather here on the North Cornwall Coast and it does the job well.

The screw pegs are excellent. My land is very uneven and these pegs keep the run and run extension tight to the ground. the drill attachment is a super tool making moving the cube and run an easy job. Well worth the money as they are much better than tent pegs etc.

Pondered for a long time about the cost of the Cube but as I am a total novice hen keeper I decided to try and make my life easier and have the best. The cube is soooo easy to clean and very quick to do. I can imagine a yukky mess with a wooden house so I am pleased I made this choice. I have had problems with the ladder or should I say the hens have and I do think the ladder treads are spaced too far apart. My husband had to make a rustic wooden ladder for them and almost a hand rail so they could get in and out! My only other thought is the nesting box may be a little small. I have six hens and for some strange reason they all like to sleep in the nesting box one on top of the other, this was manageable when they were very young but now they have grown the last one or two end up looking in sorrowfully from the roosting side (have a bought retarded chickens?). My land is not level and the cube sits very well and the run also absorbs the angles, I have put the screw pegs on the edge which are essential for my situation. (the drill adaptor that comes with them is brilliant and makes the job easy) I am very pleased with my Omlet cube and although it is a large outlay initially I imagine it will last indefinitely with virtually no maintenance, as my Mother says 'you buy cheap you buy twice'!
