Default jocardi's new playpen

My hubby has been busy this afternoon making a hammy playpen from plywood. Its just 4 lengths of ply taped together with strong black tape. She won't be in it unsupervised so she won't get chance to chew it. We did it with tape so we can fold it....it stores nicely behind the sofa.
You can see ive also but in my ' cooling tray monkey bars'......again.. for now held together with tape...just experimental at the mo.....
She enjoyed running around in there tonight, but didnt go for a climb.

Thats really good ive always wondered what people do about pee and poop going on the floor when their hams are in these sort of playpens.

Thankfully there were no accidents this evening! She was only in it for 20 mins. We will have to think about that. We won't normally have it on the fluffy rug either!

Im planning on making a playpen like this but with some strong cardboard i have. I was thinking maybe using a blanket/bed sheet that would only get used for Squibbles over the carpet. Unless i just put it in the back of the house where its wood flooring.

Is that just an oven rack you've used for climbing?

Pee and poo on the carpet.....hasn't anyone ever heard of 'throw rugs'? If it gets really bad, just put a new piece of furniture over the stained area

Thats what ive done in the kids playroom although not over their pee and poop

Think i need a trip to home bargains. Thats a really good price, ive been after some cake cooling trays for a while but werent paying online prices. And i can get an extra one for Squibbles have you just put it low enough so jocardi can reach it standing on her back legs?

Looks great and I love the cooling rack idea! Gizmo likes to climb his meshed lid when I put it on the floor for free roam, but the others could use more climbing stuff in the playpens.
