I was assuming that it was a temporary measure. If it is a permenant arrangement why don't you do without the frame altogether?

What's the worst that can happen? Laughing

Thanks for the suggestion Rob, but he's digging his heels in. I can understand why Hmmm

That is the long term plan. But it's going to take a while for me to trust them to that degree. Took me a while to trust Thumper and she wasn't even a big chewer! Eek!

I'm in a new house that's only been standing since June. If they so much as chew a skirting board, I'm dead pale Ok, not literally Laughing

buy cable ties and overlap the pen panels so it fits. you can always make a shelf to make up for the lost footage. i assume it will only be a base anyway? x

I think I'm there. Kinda. From the back of the cage (it's against the wall) to the end of the pen, I'm 4" short. It's just going to have to do. I really can't get it in any other way Hmmm

Now I need to work out how to stop them jumping on top of the cage bars and making a bid for freedom Laughing I have to have the bars on the cage to tie wrap the pen to Hmmm

It never really occurred to me how long 6' actually was Laughing

Thanks for the tip! Yes, they will get out of it and come down stairs every day once they're litter trained Smile

This was just a trial run, I'm going to have to put it together properly with tie wraps because you're right, it is a bit flimsy at the mo!!

Saturday. Right now I'm having one of those times where I'm thinking "what have I done" Laughing I'm sure it'll pass, it has every other time Laughing x

Aww! I'm sure it will be sad to see her go Sad You have done so much for her. Who knows where she'd be if it weren't for you.

Is she going to someone you know so you can be kept up to date with her? X

Is it a metal pen because if it is you can take panels out that's what we do. You need a screwdriver and pry the metal clips apart.
