Cavies need outdoor floor-time in summer for the gut motility a fresh-grass diet provides. The runs below all have small enough mesh to stop a guinea pig squeezing through (you’d be surprised) and a covered or part-covered top to keep cats, gulls and corvids out.
The flexible pick. 12 panels you reconfigure into rectangle, square or L-shape depending on the garden. Low height suits cavies and means you don’t need a ladder to lift them in and out. Pack it flat for winter.
Best for: awkward gardens, owners who want to vary the layout.
Dimensions: 142 × 72 × 36 cm

The do-it-all wire run. Square footprint, taller than the EUGAD, and rigid enough to share between species. Works for cavies, dwarf rabbits and pullet chickens.
Best for: mixed-species households, longer-term garden installation.
Dimensions: 120 × 120 × 64 cm

Our pick if you want the run to actually disappear when you don’t need it. 6ft is genuinely long for cavies, the hinges are properly engineered, and the folded footprint is small enough to slide behind a shed.
Best for: owners who don’t want a permanent run on the lawn.
Dimensions: 106 × 53 × 23 cm folded
