Young Bun
Brief history of our situation....
We have 2 house buns, they have an indoor cage, but they are never closed in it - they always have the run of the large kitchen / diner, so the cage is really just a v.generous sized toilet.
We have sold our house and are buying another, and after many a drama along the way, we finally thought things were all straight. Now at the eleventh hour, it looks as though there is a possibility that we may end up having to move all our worldly goods into storage in 2 weeks time, and we'll be having to find a place to stay for perhaps 3 weeks (what a nightmare at xmas time) . Luckily we have family locally who we can dump ourselves on, but we need to work out what we can best do for the buns.
I don't want to restrict the buns to too small a space, but they will need to be kept 'caged'. I have looked about on the net at pet pens, so that the cage they currently use could go inside it (to retain as much familiarity as poss) - but it would need a secure roof / top on it as Olly is an extremely good jumper! It would also need to be a reasonable size to take their currrent cage and still allow room to run around - but without being so huge that anyones bedroom we end up squatting in will take it!! Olly has just had a few days of being confined to a 2nd indoor cage afer having had an abscess around his ear canal lanced....and by the time he had perked up a couple of days after the Op....he was soooooooo not happy :x with having to stay in there all of the time.
I could try and work fast and look at getting them used to a different toiletting cage/recepticle/box/tray/anything.....but I don't want to stress them anymore than necessary! (Olly's still not forgiven his Daddy for taking him for all of the antibiotic jabs he's had to have! - still loves me though cos I just give him snuggles afterwards :lol: )
A bit of a dilemma!! :? What types of indoor pens / housing does everyone use? Whatever we buy will come in handy when we finally get moved in, to allow us the time to get them used to their new surroundings gradually - but we would be planning to let them go back to free roaming again as soon as they are comfortable in their new surroundings. That being the case, I would prefer not to pay out a fortune for something, but at the same time, if I can find something perfect for the job - I think I'd be fairly happy to pay a reasonable amount.
Any suggestions :?:
