Is this playpen tall enough for a rabbit?

It is 17.7 inches high, which suits guinea pigs and calm rabbits. Active rabbits that jump or climb can clear it, so supervise or add a cover.

Can I use it outdoors?

The powder-coated wire handles damp conditions, but there is no roof and the base is open. Use it outdoors only on grass with supervision and shade.

How many panels does it take to make a closed pen?

All 16 panels form the full pen. You can leave panels out for a smaller enclosure, but the shape must still close with the connectors.

Does it work for hamsters or rats?

No. The maker states it is not suitable for hamsters or rats, which squeeze through gaps and climb the wire.

What comes in the box?

Ten large panels, six small panels, 24 plastic connectors, 12 non-slip mats, a cable tie, a mallet and a manual.

Can it be used as a cage instead of a playpen?

It can be folded into a smaller kennel shape, but it has no roof or solid floor. It works best as a supervised play area rather than a full-time cage.

Our take on the 16-Panel Small Animal Playpen with Door

A modular metal wire playpen built from 16 panels joined by multi-angle plastic connectors, so it can be shaped as a rectangle, an octagon or a freeform run, or folded into a kennel. The 0.6-inch wire spacing and 17.7-inch height suit rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and hedgehogs, and the set includes non-slip mats, cable ties and a mallet. It is a budget-friendly alternative to wooden hutches and heavier welded runs, but it is light enough that a determined rabbit can push it around and a jumper can clear the low walls. Reviewers of this style of pen like the tool-free setup and the flexibility; the common complaints are flimsy connectors and panels that shift when pets lunge at them.

What reviewers say

Owners of this type of modular wire pen generally find it quick to build and easy to reshape, and value the included mats and ties. The recurring complaints are that the connectors loosen and the panels flex when pets push against them.

What people mention

AssemblyPraisedOwners say the panels and connectors go together quickly without tools.
StabilityCriticisedThe pen shifts and flexes when pets push against the sides, and connectors can work loose.
HeightCriticisedAt under 18 inches, it does not stop rabbits that jump or climb.
VersatilityPraisedThe panels can be arranged as a run, a kennel or a divider, which owners use for changing layouts.
Wire spacingMixedThe narrow gaps hold guinea pigs and small rabbits, but hamsters and rats are not safely contained.
