Title: Re: playpens Post by: julztoni97 on June 25, 2008, 01:44:48 PM I think it should be ok to handle them. Just curious, what did you get for a playpen?
Title: Re: playpens Post by: shellbell on June 25, 2008, 01:53:58 PM well cause they are only babies i just got them some logs, a log cabin and some tubes, i also got them a little ball...

Title: Re: playpens Post by: julztoni97 on June 25, 2008, 02:04:20 PM That's is what I meant. I am looking for some sort of playpen to keep mine confined a little when out. I can't rat proof a room for them and mine jumps out of the playpen we made. LOL. Little escape artist!

I bought a sheet of hardboard from home depot and my husband made slits on the sides so they slide together. It makes a cool playpen, 48x48x24. Perfect size but 1 of mine jumps to the top. I don't know if she would jump totally out but I think she would. My kids are afraid she'll escape and become a cat toy so they flip out everytime she is in there. LOL! Title: Re: playpens Post by: JR1030 on June 25, 2008, 02:14:45 PM I have a Grrreat Wall, which I love, but my younger guys are only happy in there if I'm in there with them. If I'm on the outside, they jump out trying to get to me. :doh:
Title: Re: playpens Post by: shellbell on June 25, 2008, 02:17:31 PM when mine are bigger im gonna get my oh to make a big one for them.. cant rat proof this room were in because of the way the floors are there are gaps so hes gonna make one the size of our open floor. :balloon:
Title: Re: playpens Post by: slimynolegs on July 08, 2008, 02:58:40 AM Yeah- my rat, pipsqueak, jumps like crazy. We can't ever play in the tub or anything, because she'll leap right out in a flash. I took a look at the Grrreat Wall thing, and it looks way too short for her, crazy girl. 20" high? For Pipsqueak, I'm thinking we'd need something closer to 4foot walls!

Title: Re: playpens Post by: julztoni97 on July 08, 2008, 08:09:02 AM They would climb out of that in just a minute LOL! I have a playpen that in 2ft tall and they can jump out when they want.
Title: Re: playpens Post by: slimynolegs on July 08, 2008, 01:24:00 PM Thanks shellbell :)
So it seems like the best idea for rat playtime + unwanted escapes = a pen with some sort of mesh covering. Has anyone made anything? I'd love to see pictures. |
