This is a specific conversation about Rabbit supplies — what you actually need — ask about yours and get one honest answer for your exact situation.

Rabbits are genuinely underestimated — they need space to binky and sprint, hay making up around 80% of their diet, companionship, and real mental stimulation to stay healthy and well-behaved. Getting the setup right from the start saves a lot of stress down the line. Before I point you anywhere, a couple of quick questions: how many rabbits do you have, are they indoor or outdoor, and what specifically are you looking for today? I want to make sure whatever I suggest actually fits your situation.
I've got one rabbit, a tan Mini Rex called Biscuit. He's indoors but gets time in the garden. The problem is he's been escaping his collapsible fabric pen — pushes the panels apart or just tips the whole thing over. I need something he genuinely can't get out of.

Biscuit sounds like a classic determined rabbit — Mini Rex are clever and strong for their size, and collapsible fabric pens honestly aren't built for that. The panels flex too easily, the joins aren't secure, and a rabbit who's figured it out once will keep doing it. Can I ask: is the escape mostly happening because he's pushing the panels apart at the joins, or is he actually lifting or tipping the whole pen over? That'll tell me whether height or rigidity is the bigger priority.
Both, honestly. He pushes the panels apart at the bottom corners first, and if that doesn't work he just shunts the whole thing until it falls. It's a bit of a disaster.

That's a two-pronged escape strategy — he needs a setup where the panels lock firmly together and the structure is heavy enough that it can't be shunted. My clear recommendation is the Omlet Outdoor Rabbit Run. Don't be put off by the name — it works brilliantly indoors too and plenty of people use it in living rooms and kitchens. It has rigid wire panels that clip together with proper secure connectors rather than fabric folds, a heavy base that sits flat and doesn't tip, and you can configure it in different shapes to fit your space. The panel height is enough that a Mini Rex won't clear it, and the join system is genuinely resistant to pushing from inside. It's more of an investment than a fabric pen but it's the kind of thing you buy once. For a rabbit like Biscuit who's already worked out how to beat a basic enclosure, the rigidity is the thing that will actually hold.
That sounds much more like what I need. Does it come with a cover or roof, or would I need to add that? He hasn't tried jumping out yet but I wouldn't put it past him.

Good thinking to get ahead of that. The Omlet run does come with a roof panel option — you can buy a cover attachment separately from Omlet if it doesn't come bundled with the specific size you choose. I'd get it at the same time rather than waiting to see if he jumps, because once a rabbit discovers they can clear a barrier, it becomes their new hobby. The cover also helps if the run is near a back door where there's any draft or if a cat ever wanders through — rabbits stress significantly from predator presence even without contact. Worth ticking that box now.
Perfect, I think that's what we're going for. Thank you — this is exactly the kind of specific answer I needed rather than just 'get a bigger pen'.

Glad it landed well. The Omlet run should genuinely sort it — Biscuit will probably spend the first hour trying all his old tricks and finding none of them work, which is honestly quite satisfying to watch. If you want to add some enrichment inside once you've got the enclosure sorted — tunnels, digging boxes, that kind of thing — feel free to come back and I can help with that too. Good luck with him.
