I wonder anyone can recommend a good breeding pen, so far I tried a few, all have different problems
I am looking for something while mom can get in /out easily , while the kittens can not escape.
I first tried a big dog crate, I turned it side way, with the original gate open at the top. Mum can jump in and out, however kitten can not escape. The main problem is that it is too small. Although I bought the biggest crate I can find, it is still too small, as I would like the kittens have room for running around
I also tried some metal pet divider. the main problem for this kind of pen is, they came with both vertical and horizontal bars, kittens can easily step on the horizontal bars and climb up. I tried many ways to stop them. e.g I type cardboard at the top, or attach plastic sheet on the side. But by age 6 or 7 weeks, kittens always escape.
I then tried play pen for human baby, the wooden one without horizontal bars in between, only at the top and bottom. However the space between vertical bars are too wide, kitten can easily escape. I was thinking to add some vertical bar myself or add some strong plastic sheets to block all the bars, however, I am very bad at diy, so could not figure out how / what should I use.
Any suggestions would be appreicated
