As the title says I am looking to replace our old run (which is one of the Trixie large metal ones) and would really like a sturdy wooden one as I'm not 100% happy with the metal ones, as I don't feel they offer much protection and after reading about the escapades of one or two buns it worries me my daft two would do something silly!

The bunnies are currently still indoors but will be moving into their shed once the weather is consistently warmer, they will have half the shed, approx 8'x5' with an open large hutch inside it plus time in their new run. Looking for something that is going to last Any suggestions folks?

I'd be interested in this too, as I've been looking about but can't really find anything. Need something for Moo now that the weather seems to be improving a bit.

That's the one! :thumb: For the biggest run, it's such a decent price, on other websites they can be £200+ :shock:

Oh thanks for the link

I've also found these, has anyone used him? The quality looks good and he will do bespoke if needed. The price of an 8' x 6' x 3' is £169.99 with free P&P which seems quite reasonable for the size http://www.ukrabbithutches.co.uk/3fthighrabbitruns.html

i have called and emailed welfarehutches to find out about ordering a run (as it says out of stock on the website, but can be manufactured to order) and i've heard nothing back yet, if anyone has any luck please let me know as i'm really desperate for one! they are much cheaper on there than anywhere else i have found.

What size run are you after? I can always get you a price but i don't do cheap or poor quality. If you need a photo, message me or check the facebook page out.

The guy at www.ukrabbithutches.co.uk was really helpful and built a run to my exact specification, photographed it before he sent it and sent it bubble wrapped very quickly - recommended!

i got the piggies run from ukrabbithutches and the man who owns the company is lovely. the product is great aswell. you just have to add your own proper bolts, although i'm sure he would add them if you asked. :wave:

Have you thought about buying panels off eBay to build your own run? I just bought panels to extend my set up by 12x3 ft for £65 x
