Guinea pigs need plenty of space to explore, exercise, and play. Our high-quality guinea pig runs provide a secure outdoor area where they can move freely while staying protected from predators. Made from galvanised wire mesh, these runs ensure durability and safety. Our extra-large enclosure offers the perfect solution. Many of our runs are lightweight and easy to move, allowing your pets to enjoy fresh grass regularly. For added comfort, consider pairing the run with a run shade or apex cover for weather protection.

Why do guinea pigs need a run?
Guinea pigs are active animals that need daily exercise to stay healthy and happy. A run provides them with a safe outdoor space to explore, stretch, and play while staying protected from potential predators.
How big should a guinea pig run be?
The bigger, the better! A run should provide enough space for your guinea pigs to roam comfortably. A minimum of 6ft x 4ft is recommended, but larger enclosures allow for more movement and social interaction.
Are your guinea pig runs predator-proof?
Yes, our runs are made from strong galvanised wire mesh to protect your pets from predators such as foxes, cats, and birds of prey. For extra security, consider placing the run on a solid surface or adding a mesh base.
Can I move my guinea pig run around my garden?
Yes our runs are designed for easy relocation, allowing you to move them to fresh grass regularly. Some models also feature foldable designs for convenient storage.
Can I attach a run to my guinea pig’s hutch?
Yes, our guinea pig runs can be used as standalone enclosures or connected to a hutch for easy access, giving your guinea pigs the freedom to move between their living space and play area.
Do the runs provide shelter from the weather?
While our runs allow for airflow and natural sunlight, we recommend adding a run shade for protection from strong sunlight and rain.
What’s the best surface to place a guinea pig run on?
Runs can be placed on grass, paving slabs, or decking. If using grass, ensure it is treated with pet-safe products and check for burrowing. Paving and decking offer additional security from predators.
How do I stop my guinea pigs from burrowing out of the run?
Guinea pigs don’t dig as much as rabbits, but if you’re concerned, consider placing a mesh base under the run or positioning it on a solid surface. Providing plenty of hideouts and toys can also reduce burrowing behaviour.
How do I clean the guinea pig run?
Regular cleaning is essential. Remove waste daily and disinfect the run weekly with a pet-safe cleaner to maintain hygiene and prevent bacteria buildup.
