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
Omlet’s specially designed Zippi support hoops can be used to lift the burrow pipes off the ground. This thoughtful detail will allow 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 Proof Tunnels
The Zippi tunnels are designed to be fully secure and predator proof 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.
A Complete System
You can buy everything that you need to build an amazing custom tunnel system for your guinea pigs. The complete range of parts available can be seen below.
Zippi Tunnels
Strong flexible tunnels lie at the heart of the Zippi tunnel system. They are fully ventilated and predator proof.
Zippi Connectors
Straight connectors join tunnels together or combine with a frame to connect to a run. Angled connectors join tunnels to a hutch or angled run.
Zippi Frames and Doors
Connect the Zippi tunnel to a run or hutch using these frames. Lockable versions with a door are available.
Zippi Corner and T-junction
Turn your Zippi through sharp angles with a 90 degree corner or join three tunnels with a T-junction.
Zippi Hayrack and Lookout
WIth the Hay Rack add-on, the T-junction can be used as a hay rack with included water bottle or as a lookout.
Zippi Tunnel Supports
These supports lift the tunnels to protect your grass. They also help to hold tunnels in curved shapes.
As much space as possible - Sue, N/A,
My house rabbits go out in the hutch/run during summer days and love running through the tunnels to the second run and house area. The house and run on their own are way below recommended space requirements for rabbits (the house especially) so extra tunnels and runs are essential to give them the room they need. They love the pop up lookout.
Needs two full doors - Julie,
This is a great way of getting the bits when you are trying to puzzle out a new system. They all come individually packed though. Currently this is used for a hutch to small pen set up. However if you have young sneaky rabbits like my pair, you’ll quickly see the virtue of having an isolation door at each end. The 90 degree bend is really important in my layout as those straight tubes only do gentle bends (I needed a second one though).
Five paws - Julie,
It’s been a long haul, but I’ve finally got there. We have 2 Dutch bunnies who are separated AFTER getting neutered but like seeing each other. They adore their Omlet outdoor run plus eglus (hate being inside), but need to be in a double hutch in the garage in the winter cold. I have finally set up a divided run with a tunnel run each to the (early) Omlet play pen across the single garage width. The tunnels actually only bend slightly, and those 90 degree corners and angled connectors are very important. The smarter shyer bunny is in the top half of the hutch, but has no issues with scrabbling up the ridged tunnels, which have to be on a diagonal (took him 5 minutes of testing). I am now debating whether to cut down a length of tube so that the full garage width is exploited. I’ve learned that you should always install a full closing door at the ends for isolation, and should have an unistalled door or a connector with a homemade blanking plate for adjustments. The bunnies went from sulks to joy instantly. Come summer, the whole tunnel system moves outside to the lawn.
My new favourite Omlet product! - Rose,
What a fantastic purchase this has been! We use our tunnels for bunnies and guinea pigs and they have all thoroughly enjoyed them. Its unusual to find a product on the market that isn't just pleasing to the eye but also super practical. I'm happy knowing our little menagerie of creatures can run between hutches and runs, mimicking their natural habitat and keeping them happy and healthy!! We found the tunnels so easy to put together that even the kids got involved, and then spent hours hiding treats and creating different "mazes" for them to explore. 10/10 product - well done Omlet!!
