Puppy Play Pen

6 Days To Go



I've been looking at indoor cages ever since I started being a 'small animal slave' but the cages were over $200 for something that is nothing more than a glorified litter box. For Cloud I felt it would be better to have a 'cage' thats size could be easily altered and could also be stored away when necessary.
A Puppy Play Pen! 6 grids each measuring 60cm wide, 63cm tall.

When he first arrives, he's going to be surrounded with the unfamiliar so while he settles, I'll be able to set up the puppy play pen so his 'cage' will be 1.2m long and 0.63m wide. Small enough for him to feel secure but big enough so he can still run around if he wants to.


From some of the information I have come across, it also seems that starting bunnies off in a small cage can help with litter training. It seemed that young bunnies aren't the umm.. brightest when it comes to remembering to go back to the litter box when its bathroom time.
So as he gets older and more reliable with using his litter box, I will increase the size of his 'cage' until he has free range of almost the entire mouse room!
