The enclosure should be robust and escape-proof to protect the rabbits or guinea pigs from predators and escape attempts.
Make sure that the enclosure is secured both upwards and downwards (against undermining).
Ensure that there is sufficient protection from the sun, rain and wind. A weatherproof shelter offers a place to retreat in all weathers.

Rabbits need plenty of space to hop and jump, guinea pigs need lots of hiding places so that they feel safe.
