We are having some trouble finding a workable crate solution for Riley. Everything we see at the store is too big. I took Penny's travel crate and put a box in the back to block off half of it, but she crawled behind. Then last night I made a "wall" out of cardboard and duct tape to reduce her area, but I have a feeling it won't last long.

I know that other members here have run into the same problem. Riley is 11 weeks old and 2 lbs.

What would you suggest?

Oh, and we have looked at the metal-type crates with dividers but she depises that type of crate and goes nuts. And she thinks the only purpose of that type of crate is for peeing (pet-store mindset, I guess).
