Omlet Zippi Runs & Playpens for Rabbits & Guinea Pigs
Create an outdoor exercise area that can adapt to your pets and garden. Zippi's clip-together steel mesh panels make the enclosures straightforward to assemble, move and expand. Choose an open playpen for supervised interaction or an enclosed run with a roof and your preferred ground-protection arrangement.
The configurations differ in height, roof coverage and ground protection. Select the option suited to your animals rather than treating every version as the same enclosure.
Choose your enclosure
Playpen Starter Pack | Single Height: open-top playpen for supervised exercise and interaction.
Playpen Starter Pack | Double Height: taller open-top playpen, also requiring supervision.
Enclosed Run with Skirt | Single Height: roofed run with an outward-facing mesh perimeter skirt.
Enclosed Run with Underfloor Mesh | Single Height: roofed run with mesh beneath the exercise area, intended for rabbits rather than guinea pigs.
Enclosed Run with Skirt | Double Height: taller roofed run with a mesh perimeter skirt.
Enclosed Run with Underfloor Mesh | Double Height: taller roofed run with underfloor mesh, intended for rabbits rather than guinea pigs.
The single-height enclosed-run options currently carry a stock note of new stock arriving late October 2026. Please check the selected option's availability when ordering.
Heights and mesh specifications
Open playpens: approximately 48cm high for Single Height or 96cm for Double Height.
Roofed runs: maximum height approximately 56cm for Single Height or 105cm for Double Height.
Wall and roof mesh: 38 × 38mm.
Underfloor mesh: 78 × 78mm.
Skirt mesh: 38 × 78mm.
Allow additional ground space around a skirted run for the outward-facing skirt. Check the chosen enclosure's footprint and your installation area before ordering.
Skirt or underfloor mesh?
A perimeter skirt lies outside the enclosure walls to help discourage digging at the edges, while leaving the central ground area uncovered. Underfloor mesh sits beneath the exercise area to help resist rabbits digging out. Neither arrangement removes the need to inspect the ground regularly, especially with persistent diggers.
Omlet does not recommend the rabbit underfloor mesh for guinea pigs. For guinea pigs, choose an appropriate alternative configuration and check the ground surface, enclosure openings and overall security. Very small or young animals may require additional suitable mesh to prevent escape.
Expandable exercise space
Compatible extension kits can increase a run's length and width, and extra playpen panels allow layouts to grow. A Single Height run cannot be converted into Double Height by extending it upwards. Use the correct compatible extension parts rather than improvising a roof connection between two complete runs.
The separately purchased Zippi Tunnel System can connect an appropriate hutch to a run or playpen. Covers, tunnels, shelters, platforms, Easy Access Locks and extension kits are optional accessories, not automatically included with every enclosure.
Safe siting and everyday use
Always supervise pets in an open playpen. A roofed run offers more enclosure than an open pen, but no run is completely predator-proof. Assess local risks, inspect clips and doors, and check that panels and ground protection are correctly fitted before use.
Provide shade, drinking water and access to suitable dry shelter. A mesh roof is not a rain cover, and an exercise enclosure does not replace appropriate sleeping accommodation. Move pets into secure accommodation before moving or altering the enclosure, and check for gaps or digging after repositioning.
Remove waste and soiled material regularly, clean components with suitable pet-safe products as needed, and inspect panels, clips and accessories for damage or wear.
