Young Bun
Just to warn anyone with one of these runs. On Xmas Eve both Honey and Elvis were in the run on our patio, when a cat jumped over the fence and startled the life out of them. They went bananas in the run, then charged the end cage door with the sliding latch locked in position with ties to secure it (as it isn't very secure on its own). I also had a garden patio chair wedged against it. They hit the door with such force that it flung open, the chair went flying across the garden and they were bolting around the garden scared out of their wits. The cat darted across the garden and over the fence.
My heart was pounding as I witnessed this from the kitchen window. They were both thumping and so frightened.
If I hadn't been there they would have got out and god knows what might have got them.
The strange thing was that the ties I used to secure the gate were still in the locked position, so the force of their heads must have bent the cage walls outwards enough for the gate to fling open, this is really worrying as you'd think that these were quite strong apart from the sliding latch.
I was really worried about their heads and spines, but they seem ok, thankfully.
So be aware, I won't be going out and leaving them in there on their own, back into the playhouse.
