play pen

My three hogs actually live in playpens as I think they provide a fabulous amount of space and ease.
We use the following one:

Medium is 1mx1m, large is great but takes up a lot of space. We just keep our large spare for emergencies.
Costing £48 with delivery

The problem of them escaping under the base is easy to solve. All you do, is turn the playpen upsidedown and use the zip on roof as a base. Because it zips around the bottom of the playpen, theres no chance of escape. Then you rest the whole of the playpen on the waterproof layer, to protect any carpet etc underneith. To clean, the base can be unzipped and the waterproof piece both wash at 95' in the washing machine. Anything up the sizes of the enclosure can be wiped off as its waterproof.

Just wanted to get people views on what they use?

I found this, does anyone else have one and if so what are your views on it?

Thanks

I recently bought one from the same seller but slightly bigger, this one.I bought it about 4pm and I got an email to say that it had been dispatched the next morning, very impressed!

I think it's really good, my hog loves it...she has started to go under the base but at the moment it's just when she gets tired and has had enough. And she's always supervised so no problem...she just sits under it anyway rather than pushing right out [so far]

Ahh I hadn't thought of that! Do they not get caught up in it though? Or do you use fleece on top?

We dont use anything on top, 2 years and three hogs and never had a tangle, caught nail and never seen one try to
escape I think theyre great

Aha ok nice one!

I think i'm going to try one of the childs paddling pools first and see how that works - hopefully it'll work as its a lot cheaper and its all wipe clean!

Just hope he doesnt pop it!

i got a pop up paddling pool from tesco on line..little girl can climb out.
but she has bugs and poo and pee in there first then runs round the room with us.

Just brought a paddling pool and its 25cm high so Chopper wont be able to get out of that!

Will let you know how it works later!

look forward to hearing if he likes it and if he escapes

im off to invest in a ball pit to be honest i think Holly would prefer it with the balls! haha.
