Is there a way to contain a chin?
« on: January 29, 2008, 07:09:07 PM »
We moved into the apartment about a month ago. Roo has been fine until tonight. He somehow managed to crawl under the door when i went to the bathroom. Is there like alittle play pin or something i can get to keep him contained & room enough where he can play?

I have heard of people using Pack n Plays. You can usually find them cheap at garage sales or on your local craigslist. They also have some animal play pens, but you have to be carefull. Some have bars that are too wide and the chins can get right through. You will also need to make sure it is tall enough.

If it's just Roo getting under the door you're worried about, you can get guards for that.  We use them here to keep out drafts and bad weather on our front doors.  You could probably get them at any hardware store.

me &my boyfriend were thinking about getting him the larger one of these http://www.petco.com/product/13911/Midwest-Small-Pet-Playpens.aspx . It should be high enough he cant jump out, hes only 5 months old. we wont be putting anything in with him, but a few chew toys. Should i attach a water bottle to it too? I feel so bad because i just picked him up & put him up. this is twice now & i want him to know he cant do it. Thanks you guys!!
