You can use the Zippi Tunnel to connect the hutch to a larger run or playpen
Provide Access To A Larger Run
The most popular use of the Zippi guinea pig tunnel system is to connect your existing guinea pig hutch (including wooden hutches or an Eglu Go hutch) to a large guinea pig run which can be anywhere in your garden. It’s quick and simple to do, all fixings are supplied for you to attach a Zippi connection frame to the side of your hutch and then clip on lengths of the Zippi tunnel. The frame measures 31cm high by 25cm wide and is designed to fit any make and model of guinea pig hutch.
An Active Habitat for your Guinea Pig
Using a Zippi Tunnel to connect a guinea pig hutch to a run is an amazingly convenient way to provide an exercise space for your pet. Your guinea pigs can have independent, safe and secure access to a separate enclosure and they'll have a more active lifestyle which can result in a happier, healthier pet. Discover the everyday difference a Zippy tunnel system makes to you and your guinea pig.
There are no limits to the size or shape of tunnel system that you can build
Build An Amazing Tunnel System
Zippi guinea pig tunnels are 90 cm long and you can join them together quickly and securely using Zippi connectors. You don't need to use any tools to add and remove sections, simply push the twin button locking mechanism. The Zippi tunnel system means you can keep your pets hutch close to your house (for easy food and water top ups) whilst giving your guinea pigs the run of the garden with fresh and free grass everyday!
The bendy burrow pipes can go around trees, sit on uneven ground and run along a fence or flower bed. A Zippi tunnel system lets your guinea pig reach parts of your garden that wouldn't normally be possible or practical.
Theres really no limit to the size and shape of the Zippi system you can build. With a great range of parts including T-Junctions, Corner Pieces, Look-Outs and Hay Racks you can use the handy online design studio above to start building your perfect system and discover the amazing difference a Zippi tunnel makes to you and your pets.
You can connect to as many Runs and Playpens as you like with the Zippi tunnel
Connect to Multiple Playpens or Runs
Providing your guinea pig with a fully enclosed run that they can access every day for play and exercise is ideal. Zippi has been designed to connect to any type of run including Omlet’s Outdoor Pet Runs. By adding a T-Junction to a Zippi tunnel system you can provide access to a guinea pig playpen for you and your children to use. Your pet's access to this area can be simply controlled with a door in the Zippi Frame which you just open when you want to allow your guinea pig to access it.
The flexible tunnels allow you to easily move your guinea pig's run around the lawn
Move the Run - not the Hutch
You can easily move your guinea pig’s run around the garden without having to move the hutch itself thanks to the flexibility of the Zippi tunnels. This allows the hutch to stay close to the house for convenient access while you simply lift and move the attached Zippi Run to a new location. You can continually change the setup of the tunnels as the connectors are so easy to use and give your guinea pig a fun and varied habitat. They are also really strong, durable and will give many years of use.
Maximize the Space Within Your Garden
Whatever size or shape of garden you have you can maximize the space available by using the Zippi tunnel system. Bend around flower beds, behind rockeries and over patios to give your guinea pig access to areas previously well out of reach. Using Zippi to move a run you could even use your pets as an environmentally friendly and fun way to mow your lawn!
Children love watching their guinea pigs use the Zippi Tunnel system
Both Guinea Pigs and Children Love It!
Children of all ages love watching their guinea pigs run down the Zippi burrow pipes and pop out to say hello! The whole product has been designed with young ones in mind and if they are confident enough with their pet then they can operate the frame doors and even rearrange the tunnels themselves. It you don’t want your children to be able to undo the connectors then you can completely secure the connectors with the screw locks which come free with every Zippi connector.
You can add a hay rack or lookout tower to your Zippi tunnel
Add a Hay Station or Lookout
You can upgrade your Zippi T-section with a dual use Hay Station that doubles as a Look-Out tower. The Hay Station comes with a water bottle holder and kids can easily fill the container with hay or other fresh vegetable treats. By attaching the base of the Hay Rack to the top you can convert it into a Look-Out. This is a great alternative use and one you and your guinea pigs will enjoy. Children love waiting by the Look-Out to spot their pet as they explore their Zippi tunnel world!
The Zippi tunnel can be securely attached to the run of an Eglu Go guinea pig hutch
Connect Your Eglu Go Hutch To A Larger Run
The Zippi Tunnel system is designed so that it can be easily and securely connected to the run of the Eglu Go Guinea Pig Hutch. The Zippi Frame can simply be attached directly to the run (all fixings are supplied). You can then connect to any type of run including Omlet’s Outdoor Pet Runs, giving your pets even more space to exercise.
The optional lock out door is very useful when it comes to cleaning your hutch
Optional Lock Out Door
A really useful feature of the Zippi guinea pig tunnel system is the optional Lock Out Door that can be added to any Zippi Door Frame. It’s a brilliant way to be able to temporarily control your pet’s access into the Zippi tunnel system.
Ideal for Cleaning Time
You can use it to keep your guinea pig in the run or playpen whilst you clean out the hutch - or vice versa - or while you change the layout of your Zippi system. It’s important to note that the door should only be used to keep pets within a hutch or run and not within the tunnel itself.
Raise the tunnel above your lawn with the Zippi support hoops
Raises Up From Your Lawn
The Zippi Guinea Pig Tunnel System can be lifted from the ground thanks to Omlet’s specially designed Zippi support hoops. This thoughtful detail will raise the tube up 9cm off the ground allowing the grass under the tunnels to keep growing leaving your lawn in perfect condition. You can also use the strong steel support hoops to steer your guinea pig’s activity tunnels around a tight corner or tree.
The Zippi tunnels are quick and easy to clean
Easy To Clean
As with all Omlet products the Zippi tunnel has been designed to be easy to clean. Using the door in the Zippi frame, you can temporarily close the tunnel so your guinea pigs can’t access it. Then you simply open the connectors to release each section of tunnel. The burrow pipes can be washed out with water and a pet safe disinfectant, drainage and ventilation holes along the length mean you don’t have to worry about drying the pipes.
"Even with a long system, cleaning the Zippi tunnel just takes a few minutes."
Your guinea pig can safely use the Zippi system whilst other pets are in the garden
Predator Resistant Tunnels
The Zippi tunnels are designed to be fully secure and predator resistant to ensure your guinea pig stays safe and protected during use. The tunnels have a unique locking connector at each end which requires two buttons to be released to open it. In addition each connector can be further secured, if necessary, using the locking screw. If you have a pet dog or cat, your guinea pig can safely use the system whilst they are in the garden. The tunnels have been temperature tested and can be used in hot and cold conditions. Each section of activity tunnel has ventilation and drainage holes throughout its entire length. Your guinea pigs will love using their Zippi tunnels all year round in all weather conditions.
The Zippi door frame can be connected to any wire mesh run or solid surface
How do I Connect Zippi to a Run?
The Zippi door frame can be connected to any wire mesh run or to any solid surface, for example the wall of a wooden hutch.
Before attaching the Zippi door frame you will need to cut a square hole in the mesh or wood. All of the fittings are included, as are clear and complete instructions. You will receive cover strips to place over the cut edges so that you are left with a very neat finish.

Given our rabbit so much freedom. - Claire,
This was our best purchase in a long time, given so much freedom to roam to our rabbit and enjoyment. I feel less guilty about him being in a hutch even though it’s always been a good size.

My bunnies love it. - Megan,
I had three hutches for my 5 bunnies as they dont all get along and unfortunately one of my bunnies passed away and i was left with an extra hutch and instead of getting rid of it, i decided to spoil my bunnies and connect two of my hutches together and this product worked perfectly, with some help from my mum the set up was pretty easy and i love the little lift up door to stop them going through otherwise I'd never be able get them out of their hutches to bring inside. My bunnies also really enjoy being able to go from hutch to hutch. 100% recommend and worth the money.

Excellent, well made product - Mark,
I came across the Omlet website whilst researching indoor rabbit runs, and I’m so glad I did. I was immediately impressed by the Zippi tunnel system and the reviews for it. Yes, it is expensive, but well worth it. I ordered the twin pack with hutch to run connector as this offered the best value of discount. I then added on a corner piece, and additional connector as this costs less than buying it as a set for some reason. I also selected the support hoops and another door. The package arrived two weeks later and was well packaged in cardboard with very little plastic packaging. Set up was very straightforward and one of the best assembly instruction booklets I have seen. All you need is a screwdriver to assemble the connectors. I connected everything up to an existing wooden hutch and metal run, again no issues, plenty of options in the instructions, spare screws and bolts etc. The quality of the parts is very good and I feel confident our rabbits will be safe from predators. It’s great to watch them running between hutch and run and not having to worry about rain or wind. The tubes are fairly firms and do not have a massive flex in them. You will need the corner pieces for sharp turns but more gentler ones are achievable with the tubes. I also found the angled connector useful for helping with a bend rather than using it for an angled run. I’ll be getting more of those. Having the support hoops definitely helps with creating a bend as well as clearing the grass and avoiding yellowing. I’m now planning on getting some more tubing to give me the flexibility to move the run around the garden without moving the hutch as often. We are a happy family with happy bunnies!
