escape from dog crate!

I just went into the dining room to see Hobbes and Phoebe and Hobbes was running round outside the crate while Phoebe was still locked inside! :shock:
Hobbes must have got out from the bottom of the crate. The gaps are only 4 inches by 2 and a half inches (10cm x 6.5cm) so i'm amazed he fit through it!
He's quite podgy at the moment too!

How am i going to keep him inside?! I need to put something round the bottom that he can't chew :?:?:?
 
Barney once shot out of one of those holes, it scared me to death becasue I thought he couldn't possibly fit. Can you get some lengths of wood from a diy shop?
 
Cable tie some mesh strips over it (B&Q or Wilko), or put bricks around it as an emergency. Actually even some chicken while would be ok as its indoors.
 
I had some spare wire in the garage from the rabbit run which i tried to fasten round the bottom but couldn't do it the right way round so i turned the cage upside down and (hey presto!) the cage has smaller holes at the top so i've just left it upside down instead! :D
He's such a cheeky monkey though! If he'd have got out in the night i'd have probably needed new skirting boards by morning! :lol::lol:
 
Yep, Pippa can get out from the crate too :roll: since we put towels over it she seems to have forgotten there are holes though.
