Double Dragon Pet Playpen | Portable & Foldable Exercise Pen for Dogs & Small Animals | Galvanized Metal, Breathable Mesh, Water-Rust Resistant Base | Safety Net and Sun Shield Cover included (55inch)

At the moment my bunnies are indoors till I get one of them done and they go outside in their hutch runs together. This gives them room to run around outside, to graze on grass and stretch their legs. It is really important that rabbits get the room to run, jump and graze.This took about 5 mins to put together, the cover gives shade and stops them jumping over the edge. Its large so you can put in tunnels, toys or hideouts. This would also be great for guinea pigs to roam outside. The run is simply pegged into the ground. And when bunnies need a fresh area of grass to explore I can just move the whole run. My rabbits love going in this. Its a reasonable price, and simple to put together.

We bought this for our tortoise, so he can have happy days out in the sun doing himself some good, since the UV does wonders for their shells etc., as well as doing those of us without shells some good too.The reviews had in general been positive and at the "bargainous" price we thought it was worth a pop, and it arrived partway through a sunny day. Normally we have our tortoise indoors (up by a window to catch UV, and with a UV lamp) but in a modest cage - originally for rabbits - life gets a bit same-y, so we put him outside under the cage top, leaving the base upstairs. This was such a faff that we thought this "proper" run would save us a lot of time carting the cage top through the house (it is not heavy, but bulky) and disconnecting and reconnecting the various cables and clips and lights that are attached to the cage top every time. Now we can just pick the little guy out of his cage, bring him into the garden and put him in this to play - although like all enclosures, he spends 99% of the time trying to escape.When we're not using this we can store it easily since it can be stored flat. We have a swing-seat over which we have a zippable cover that stays on pretty much all the time. The swing seat already stores and protects a recliner, and this just adds a little more to that storage space, so it is easily going to save us at least ten minutes of faffing about every time we want to give our 80 year old tortie some outdoors time. This can only mean that he'll be out there even more often.Build quality, no problems that I can see. The galvanised mesh looks nice, is surprisingly unobtrusive in the garden since it is reflective and partially adopts the colours that are around it, and has no nasty edges anywhere that could cause harm. The edges of the "eyes" through which the ground stakes are slid to join sections together are the only potential snag hazard, and they can be arranged to face outward to remove even that unlikely risk. Threading the ground spikes through two sets of eyelets is sometimes a bit trying, but its really not difficult at all, and there's enough that goes below ground to keep things steady.The cover is quite neat as well, with half of it offering shade and the rest letting the daylight in, giving a choice for your pet. There are attachments around the edges that can be hooked onto the cage at different heights if necessary. Why? Because you don't have to arrange the side panels into a perfect octagon. We have it in an elongated octagon today and the cover still fits lengthways and from side-to-side, and to keep the cover taut you can hook it further down the sides as needs be. The cover looks pretty sturdy too, so predators would have a hard time getting in (it'd be more like a trampoline if a buzzard dived onto it). I'd definitely not rely on it to protect pets overnight, though, especially in rural areas with foxes and badgers about. They'd get in quite easily, so this is a daytime recreation run so far as we're concerned, no more than that. Young children can get access to pets through the side door in one of the panels, although if they are forgetful and leave the door open, a rabbit could easily escape since the door has a fairly low ledge.For people that don't rely on it for protection of pets when they are away, and are generally happy to keep a watchful eye on their pets, this run does a fine job. It is light enough to move easily but heavy enough to stay where it is put, easy to store away, and will take up very little storage space. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Our rabbits have free roam of the garden, so we got this for times when people are visiting like the window cleaner or friends with dogs who are not used to rabbits so we know they are safe and secure. The netting stops them getting out and other pets getting in and one half provides shade from the sun. Can be tricky to assemble on your own but with two people it is very simple. I would have preferred if the panels were all linked and then you just need to insert the last peg to keep it all together so it could be folded up easily without having to fully disassemble, but with two people it can be easily moved around. I have used cable ties to achieve this which makes it easier to put out and store away when not needed.

I brought two of these for my indoor rabbits. This pen can be made into any shape you like (oblong, square, etc.) without using the safety net/sunshade on top that comes with it as that only fits an octagon shape, you can also add or remove panels to create the size you want, so in this way it is very versatile and can fit into smaller spaces if need be. The only downside to using it in a different shape without the net on top, is to be careful not to put anything tall in the pen that the rabbit can climb on to and jump out, as the pen is only about 2ft or so tall. The solution to ensure safety, would be to buy netting or use some other kind of cover and use the clips that came with the pen to attach it. When I go on holiday and need my daughter to look after my bunnies at her home, I will be taking these pens to be used as their temporary cages as they can be folded flat which makes them easy to transport, all I'd need to add is suitable floor protection and litter trays. Overall, a great versatile product that was great value for money too!

Great size for my baby guinea pigs and they have not escaped from it yet. However it is flimsy so if you want to use it to protect pets from animals like dogs, foxes etc. - this will not protect them. The cover is also feels very cheap but due to it`s manuverability, price, decent size and how easy it is to pop it up and down when needed, I think it`s a decent product overall. Now I use it for supervised run time only.
