The first time he got out since he was able to jump high enough to hook his paws on the top and pull himself out. Even if yours can't jump quite that high, you might want to be careful with that crate inside of it. I had a crate like that in the 2nd pen that I had and he jumped on his crate and still tried to jump out. He was close, but couldn't make it. I could see a smaller pup jumping on top of a crate then out with that iris pen. If he does though, you could always get a cover... |
I dont have him yet but his estimated adult weight is 5 lbs but you know how that goes... Do you find that they have enough space to run around? My biggest thing is that when I have to leave for an extended time like a couple of hours (even though it is rare that nobody will be at home) I feel bad crating him because then he will have no space to play in and will have to sleep even if he is not tired.
I want a playpen that he won't outgrow but since I live in my mothers house she doesn't want anything too big and most wire crates are just that.
