We have an eglu go and sadly our bunny died last night after a fox attack. It is definitely not fox proof. We are devastated.

Check that the door is sliding easily in the runners. Could be a build-up of dust or warpage caused by temperature variations that is making the motor work harder and draw more power from the batteries?

Come on Omlet. This is the number 1 failure of the classic. It's metal and locks the lid. It fails as the point where it narrws. It's critical. We have 3 egloos and have already replaced this once and they last maybe 7 years, before then bend and break, so you decide to discontinue it!! Why? As loads of orriginals age, more people will be looking for these from you.

Why does my Smart door now go through batteries every 4 - 5 days? Until about 2 weeks ago it was working fine, with batteries lasting at least 3 months.

Mites are such a frustrating problem for chicken keepers, so I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with them! They can be a real challenge to get rid of, but there are some effective steps you can take. The most important thing is a thorough cleaning. You'll need to remove all bedding and clean every part of the coop, especially the little cracks and crevices where mites hide. A strong disinfectant or even a steam cleaner can be very helpful here. For prevention and treatment, a lot of people have success with diatomaceous earth (DE). You can dust it on the floor and in the nesting boxes, and it's also safe for the chickens to dust bathe in. It's a great way to help keep the mites under control naturally. I hope you get the problem solved soon!

Google Lynch pin, is this what your after?

Hi @SarahLQ, thank you for the reply. We've now managed to buy one but really appreciate you taking the time to respond. 😊

I have an Eglu Classic and 3 metre run that I may be selling. I'm in Hertfordshire. Let me know if you are still interested.

Thanks Beantree

Looking for an Eglu classic and run please. East Anglia / Cambridgeshire / Hertfordshire area ideally. We have a hen that we need to segregate.

Sanitizing powder might be harsh on their feet. Sprinkle some Sweet PDZ (zeolite) around, also called Stall Fresh or something like that. It absorbs ammonia and is great! Sold most cheaply for horses, though you can buy it marketed for chickens and usually pay more. Eventually also you will want to put down aged wood chips on your run because your lawn there will become mud after all the grass is eaten, unless you move them!

Mystery solved then (and I guessed right). Hope they arrive quickly for you.

Phoned Omlet. They are already in the coop when its delivered. Unfortunately I bought a 2nd hand Go Up without a run so the original owner must have removed them. So I can't attach the new run. Will have to buy some from Omlet and wait for delivery before I can put it together

That's a bit of a puzzle suzybear? I don't own one of these coops, but my thought is these fixings are already fitted to the coop, but must then be removed and refitted when installing the run? That would explain why they are not on the supplied parts list but do have a part number in case one is lost? Perhaps they must be there to keep the coop watertight? I'll be interested in the outcome.

Parts for frame also doesn't include these screws

Does anyone know what item part 800.0005 should be supplied with? According to the manuals it is not suppied with the coop or the run but it is need to connect them together.

I am looking to buy a run for our mark one cube. We are located on the Surrey/Kent border. Anything available?

Does anyone know if a new eglu cube run will fit onto a cube mark 1? Thank you for any advise.

I have a mark one eglu cube which was housed within a large walk in run. We now only have three bantams and are downsizing. I am after a run that will connect to my mark 1 cube. We are on the Surrey/Kent border. Does anyone have one suitable for sale. Thank you for reading.

Hallo, was habt ihr für Tipps gegen Nacktschnecken? Durch das feuchte Wetter habe ich den ganzen Cube innen und außen voller Nacktschnecken, die Tränke, die Näpfe überall sind sie

You could try asking them for a copy of the original component drawing, then make one from that.

I am trying to locate a lid locking bar for our Eglu Classic / Mk1 The original rusted through, and has now been lost. Omlet do not have any left, and production of them has now ceased. Does anyone know where I can obtain one, or failing that, would anyone be able to take some measurements of one, so that I can hopefully get something fabricated ? Has anyone else had the same problem, and found a solution. Many thanks. Paul

This would be a great edition to our rescue but still in the process of trying to raise funds for one, where about in West Yorkshire are you.
