When I go out for awhile or go to work, I have been putting my babies in a 30 inch high x-pen. When I work there is about a 5-6 hr span between the time my husband leaves and I get back. Last week I went out for awhile and when I came home my 9mo female greeted me at the door and my male was still in the x-pen. It was the weekend and my son had stopped by, played with them and he said he put them back in the pen. Today when I got home from work there she was again waiting at the door (also peed on the carpet). So I guess she must be climbing out. Little devil. So I guess the only answer is to buy a big crate that they both fit in. No sense buying a higher x-pen I'm afraid she'll break her neck. I'm afraid to put something over the top-she may get trapped. Little Miss Houdini. Any other ideas?
