We bought our C & C tiles. Three boxes worth. Now we are trying to decide what to do with
them. Suggestions? We are thinking 2 levels and we have about a 2.5 x 6 foot area. This is
just what he will be in at night and the rare times one one of us wouldn't be home for more
than a few hours.

You'll probably find that you'll build something then decide you could have done it better, tear it all down and start again - Humum usually does Laughing

Levels are good - we spend a lot of time upstairs and we get a sunbeam through the window in the early evening Very Happy

When you have a layout you are happy with, it's best to cable-tie it all together. The plastic connectors can be a bit weak, especially if a bun is pounding up and down on them a lot.

Humum tries to keep a fairly open downstairs area for running about in, and clutters the upstairs a bit more with toys and things to discourage the same.

That makes a lot of sense, Sparky. We are debating as to whether we should put his maze haven inside the pen or not as it is HUGE. It can be made into 2 levels and we could make it so he couldn't get out the top and leap over the fence. I'm still concerned he'll jump out since he seems to levitate at times.

Thanks! Hugs

I put in a shelf for the buns with just a line of grids directly over it and they both managed to get out. They must have climbed like monkeys to get to the bit that wasn't covered. Now the whole pen is covered to stop them escaping. Don't underestimate their ability to get out of jail! Laughing

And definitely cable tie them together. Barley and Sasha really give the bars a thumping and if they weren't tied, would break out regularly.
