Playpen help

[Euphoric]

I was using X-pens with a sheet over them, but my mother (Who I took them from) needs them back for her new dog. *sigh*

So now I need to purchase 2 new playpens on a limited budget.

I let my chins out for about 2 hours a day with toys and a cardboard maze.

I searched of ferret.com, but I am looking for other choices.

I don't care about htem jumping out, the could jump out of the x pen too (lol) so I just put a blanket over it.

Thanks!

I use 2 playpens attached together that I got from Petsmart...I can't remember how much they cost but they weren't too expensive. This gives her plenty of room to run around, even with a maze in the pen.

I know others have taken large sheets of cardboard and taped them together accordian style so it can be folded up again and out of the way when not in use. If you try the search engine, there are pictures of this.

I can see if I have anything in the shed that would work for playpens. There's so much junk in there, you never know what's in there. I know I have an old plastic one outside...but I don't know if you'd want that one.

If it is in good condition, I will take it! I been looking online for a half hour..looks like I will just buy the one at Petsmart for $40.

Susan do you happen to have any rope for toys or any metal chains for toy making? I didn't see any on your site.

I do, but I don't have it up on the site... It takes me forever to put anything up there...

How to make a cardboard playpen, it's pretty inexpensive.

I bought a nice wire one, about 3' high, at a local pet shop. It was about $30 at this store, and hooks together very well! It's about $34 online. See below, 12th image.

I have 2 of the Clean Living Playpen 8 Panel cages for $33.95 that I have attached together to make one big one. No complaints at all, works well with my chin.
