Where can I get a fox and digging-rabbit proof hutch/run?

I need one that a fox cannot get into and a rabbit cannot get out of - does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

You need to dig a trench, fill it with concrete, put wire embedded in it and attach run to the top of the run.....

Effort, but then its done....

There's a post "Which run for guinea-pigs" on 12/06/12.

I posted a link for a rabbit run (84" long, good height for rabbits to stand up on hind legs).
There's another post for a wooden sided run (heavier)

There's no base to it (which is fine for guinea-pigs who CBA to dig) but I would have thought a rabbit needs a base.

The run comes with tent peg type spikes, but we've bought more.

The foxes have dragged at the guinea-pigs bath mat and where the folding hinge is, they've pulled it , GPs weren't in it at the time.

Your run would need to be moveable on grass though (on concrete you'd just keep it where it is)

Dig up your garden, lay a mesh down, lay turf on top, simples Wink

Rabbits are feckers for digging! I gave up in the end and kept mine on concrete. 2 hours of chasing a day was just too much!
