Indoor/Outdoor Run Help Please

Hi everyone,

I posted a similar thread a while back asking for ideas about runs, but since then the runs kindly suggested by Aly&Poppy don't seem to be available anymore. It was these:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/6ft-FULLY-...item3cc8404605
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-Rabb...item3f23381990.

It looks like you can only get shorter runs now (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RABBIT-GU...pplies_Small_Animals&var=&hash=item2ec762674c) - 6ft x 29" x 20" - which at 20" high isn't quite the 60cm of the one on the first link.

I am trying to find a friend for my housebun Jaffa (going to see one tomorrow hopefully) and will need a multipurpose run for a) the new bun to run about in before they're bonded and b) one or both of the buns to use outdoors in the garden occasionally. (I live in a flat with a shared garden so would only be able to take them out sometimes.)

I'd like the run to:

be easily foldable (and carryable up and down 2 flights of stairs)
be sturdy enough in case Jaffa jumps on it while it's indoors (I would cover to avoid him trapping his feet)
have narrow enough mesh so bonding bunnies can't hurt each other through it

Does such a run exist? Has anyone got any better suggestions than the link above? Is £85 a reasonable price for the run above considering it's not as tall as the first link?

If I get the bunny from the RSPCA I think they are able to lend me a cage for her to live in while I'm bonding, which would probably have to go inside the run, so I will get measurements for it while I'm there. This could be Jaffy's new girlfriend: http://www.rspca.org.uk/allaboutanimals/rehoming/petsearch/details/-/Pet/REN/ref/88918/rehome/

Thanks for reading all that!
 
Nothing helpful to say about the run I'm afraid, but... what a delight Ben is. Look forward to updates about him and Jaffa :love:

It's Ren - and she's a girl! Hopefully going to see her soon, if the rain holds off, since I have to cycle 45 mins there! Eeeeee!

Ren, oops :oops: Hope it stays fine for your bike ride. Ren looks really lovely.

She was soooooooooooo cute! The weather was fine but there were some mega hills on the way. Ooof.

Apparently there are two other people interested and I was on the verge of saying the people who were there just before me could have her as they said she's exactly the rabbit they are looking for, but when I was talking to the lady she said they were really nasty to her on the phone earlier as she told them that I was coming to see Ren so they'd have to wait until I'd decided. So now I'm conflicted as I don't want her to go to a home with nasty people who are angry at the poor RSPCA lady! I think I'm 90% sure I will try her. They will hold her until the end of tomorrow for me.

But I need to get a run!!!

I guess I could manage for a while letting them out individually but when I shut Jaffy up to hoover it breaks my heart seeing his little face and his paws up against the bars of his cage! He looks like a confused little prisoner.
