Millie and Maddie's new enclosure arrived from Boyles yesterday and after re-jigging nearly half the furniture in my flat it is now in place. It's a 2m x 1m enclosure and we have put a vinyl offcut down on the floor which is slightly textured and they don't seem to slip on it which is great.
It means I will no longer have to put up and take down a metal pen in the kitchen every morning and night which is going to be sooo much easier.
Obviously they will still get as much free range time as I can give them but this means they have a bigger and better house when they do have to be put away.
Here's a few snaps of it but I'll probably add some more once the girls are settled in but they seem to like it so far
I plan to hang other things like veggies/weeds from string so they have to reach for them and I will probably be adding some paper in the little hut for them to dig in but they haven't ventured in there yet!
I'm sure some more toys like willow balls will end up in there too.
ETA: My step dad has also managed to fix the front room door so that I can actually close it which means I won't have to barricade myself in anymore! Basically my flat is wonky (don't ask!) so the door wouldn't shut and the girls learnt how to open it and although I do let them into the hall to run up and down the stairs they try to pull the carpet off the stairs so they have to be supervised! Plus it leads directly down to the front door so they could have escaped when I'd gone to let someone in. Another little thing that is going to make my life easier!
