But I don't crate the two of them, I leave them in a "playpen" with a bowl of food, water, toys and their litterbox. The playpen is an eight panel pen that you can adjust and move and is sold at Petsmart. I also cover the flooring with a painters cloth in case they miss.

This option allows Simon and Nigel some freedom and leaves me guilt free. I know that some people crate them and it works very well for them, but I had too many concerns and guilt about doing that to them.
