My eco solution to rat problems

[Hockeyaholic]

Got my new green rabbit eglu yesterday & so far I'm really impressed - much bigger then I thought it would be. My only query is that the top of the eglu doesn't seem to fit 100% to the base, has anyone else found this? Is it suppose to? I appreciate air has to circulate but I can see daylight through one of the joins & the eglu can be sort of lifted at the back. It seems to be in the right place, as I've tried & tried to put the lid back on - any suggestions?

 

I'm just a little concerned as I'm collecting my baby bunnies tomorrow (can't wait! )

Im not really sure what to suggest here but have you tried looking at the pictures of the eglu/rablu in the information section of the website?

If you are really worried i would give the chaps at Omlet a ring.

 

Oh you must be so excited about getting your little bunnies - do let us know how you get on.

Mine are both a bit as you describe, Hockeyaholic.

 

I don't think they ever fit very tightly.

 

Have a word with Omlet, I'm sure they will be able to put your mind at rest.

Does it have the run on??? If so I think I had the same problem and you just need to overlap the top of the run slightly. As I used to have to push in the side to get the lynch pin in.

Try Ubereglu's suggestion and if it doesn't fit then give them a ring at Omlet. My Rablu fits fine onto the base, but I had some initial problems with my Eglu.

Thanks for your comments...I gave Omlet a ring & they said it sounds pretty normal, she said they're not going to fit 100% due to it being moulded plastic & also air needs to circulate too. I'm still a little concerned but I guess only time will tell if it's going to be a problem or not (hopefully without harming the bunnies)

 

I got Tallulah & Delilah today, who are both gorgeous! They seemed fairly easy to handle, though I expect part of that was that they were so confused/scared with all the changes. Hopefully they'll both get on well & settle into the eglu - will figure out how to post pictures when I've taken a few

 

Ubereglu - not sure what you mean by overlapping the run...do you mean where they join in the centre?

 

I did have this problem before I put the run on

I remember a gap developing in mine during the really hot spell during the summer. It then just went back into shape I may be wrong but it might just need to settle down, we,ve had extreme temperatures lately! hope all goes well and enjoy your new bunnies

Yes, I mean where the top two sections of the run are joined onto the eglu. Hope that helps, lucky you and the bunnies!!!

I see what Liz means - if you over lap the two sides of the run at the top, it will lift the front of the Eglu top up, stopping it from lifting at the back.
