Ok well u could put in some hatdware cloth around the run on the ground and just stake it in or u could bend it or something to keep stuff from digging under and in and if the top is open I would stick a cheap role of garden netting over the top to keep out air predators and do u know what predators u have in your area

Well I definitely cant let them free rage so I tried to secure there run as much as possible. But the predators are not so much of what I am worried about, we only have black bears, coyotes,raccoons, weasels,mountain lions. That's it. Ha ha ha

Nothin' much other than good hotwire will keep a bear out.
Anyone checking on their food and water daily while you are gone?
