Omlet Outdoor Guinea Pig Run Extensions

I bought 6 extensions for my 6x6x6 run and I am so happy I did. It looks beautiful and the chickens have a wonderful space they can run, jump, and dig in!

I bought this about a month ago and was tickled when it arrived. I have to admit I was a bit overwhelmed and like others of my kind "I don't need directions, I got this" mentality I forged ahead. I unpacked everything and attempted to use the detailed 50+ page manual but I found that most challenging. It wasn't the detail drawings that were the challenge; however, the directions in several languages required in some areas more detailed explanation. I then pushed it aside and said, "not today." Later that week I decided to take it on again after going to YouTube and finding several videos. The best was from Omlet and strongly suggest its use. I finally made major progress and with an extra week I had it completed. I was successful at putting it together and have a happy, safe home that is easily accessible. I will be making another purchase in the future and I had someone come to pick up some geese I was re-homing and they inquired about Omlets and have plans to order one too.

I have had the pleasure of the company of a number of Guinea pigs and rabbits who have lived in a number of different homes we have made or purchased. The Eglu Omlet homes are by far the absolute best! Easy to clean, move, and provide water, food. The system is superb. The stress of the hot and cold weather is also manageable with the insulated house, covers and open runs. Our Guinea pigs have never been so peaceful and friendly. Instead of hiding, they confidently move around the enclosure, come up to the wire to chat, and generally enjoy the large open space. The tunnels are a favourite for both Guinea pigs and rabbits. Our Flemish giants fit through the tunnels with ease. We are all so very grateful for such incredible design and options. The accessories sold separately keep the old Eglu hutches new with clean bottles and new covers.

We have the 6x9 run for guinea pigs and we LOVE it. It is time consuming to put together, but using zip ties in lieu/as well as the removable brackets they give you will speed things up considerably. I like the clear covers for winter but the darker covers for summer so it doesn't get too hot. Things to note: • This has a "skirt" that goes on the ground to keep predators from digging under. I am not sure if this would be enough if you had a motivated fox. Our run is inside our garden which is surrounded by no climb horse fencing. On the outside of the garden fence, there's electric chicken netting. So we are unlikely to have a predator issue inside this area. But I would have done further predator-proofing if I was placing this in another area. • I purchased the Eglu and connector so the guinea pigs would have a warm zone to go if the weather gets cold (we're in Maryland). • The Zippi platforms don't work with this- I wish they did! • The roof is strong, but it's not strong enough to hang a waterer from (I wouldn't attempt to do this). If you have a heavy snow load, you'll probably want to brush some of the snow off. We don't get much snow so I haven't tested this yet.

I bought a 6x9 run last month for 6 chickens. My husband put it together in about 1.5/hrs. It looks great in our yard and is good quality. I'm planning to extend it another 6' this summer. So glad we bought this and not a standard run with chicken wire.
