The answer is two or more. My babies love to snuggle up in this tiny crate. I have seen Peppy, Kooper and Dovie all snuggled up together. This morning Kooper and Dovie were snoozing and I thought it was so cute and snapped a few pics. Just a few minutes later Scarlett and Dovie were snuggled. Hope you enjoy the pics. I am not a crate trainer so I never ever close the door on the crate -

the only reason I don't take the door off is that I am afraid I will lose it. I only use the crate for trasporting an unruly little one in the car.
