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.

Nice bit of kit - Sian,
Nice bit of kit, easy to assemble and fit, very sturdy. We attached a run to the hutch using this system. Feels very secure at both ends to prevent our little escapologist from getting out again!
Zippi tunnel with door - Petra,
It is a very very good product and quite unique on the market. We used it to connect a small henhouse and a connected run to a supposedly large rabbit hutch as we felt no hutch available was actually enough space for a rabbit to be locked up in overnight. Our bunnie loves it. When we open all the doors to let her free she runs the whole length of the the 2 hutches in one end, through the tunnel and out the other very fast and binkies. She also goes in it and rests, she probably finds it cosy as it’s like a proper warren. I do feel it was expensive for what it was though and could benefit from a door at both ends so we could remove it and put one hutch in the shed over winter and still have a secure outdoor hutch outside in the day in winter (ie without a tunnel or hole that goes nowhere) of course we could buy another door kit but the products are very expensive. As once you’ve fitted it that’s it, the hole you cut is there forever.
Excellent Service and Product - Frizzy,
I spent a long time looking at tunnel options and decided this would be the best although expensive. When it arrived and saw how large the ridges of the tunnel were I wondered if my guinea pigs would use it so I put a folded towel in the bottom for the first couple of days. I forgot the next day but then noticed they were racing up and down it without it! I wish the tunnel was a bit more flexible as it's quite hard connecting a heavy hutch and run and trying to manipulate everything to fit together especially when you're of a more mature age and can't bend down as well as you used to! For the same reason I do struggle with the catch on the door. However the pigs love it and as soon as I've managed to open the door in the morning (they recognise the sound and come running) they bomb down it at great speed in their eagerness to reach fresh grass! .
Short but great! - Martha,
Expecting this to be a bit longer for the price paid but overall really easy and practical our guinea pigs and rabbit loves the tunnel!
- Neil,
Great product.
