Plastic: a crate is intended to be a den
lower light
privacy
easy to clean completely
bed
I use a Large (airline type box) kennel with a medium Visco foam pad bed in it so plenty of room yet it's used for nothing more than their den/private bed here...they have various other beds and a play pen for when needed, ...I love the Best Pet Play Yard, it's a soft sided carrier (medium) because of it's portability and functionality for taking a kennel while traveling etc.
A wire crate would be fine too (just not my choice) if you provided a:
bed that was a little extra thick in it
covering it for privacy so it's not a cage but a den...with a blanket or one of the covers they make for them
and put in a lot of effort scrubbing each wire area...each corner, crack, etc... |
