Metal/Shop Bought Playpen

Anyone have any suggestions on what the best metal play pens are?
I cannot find any in the UK that seem to have good reviews

when i researched alot of people said that hamsters could climb out/ squeese through the gaps, but i found this helpful incase you hadn't seen this http://www.hamstercentral.com/commun...x-playpen.html

hopefully others might know more x Goodluck

Yeah that's all I keep reading Spot lol
I have seen the Correx but tbh I was being lazy and wanted to find a ready made one haha whoops

hahahah i do understand ive kept the cardboard and have bulldog clips i can 'borrow' from work so hopefully that will work, but will keep an eye on this thread incase there is a secret miracle one

Haha, I've made cardboard ones so many times and with dwarfs they were fine but my Syrian had like body builder strength and would lift it up haha

We have one

We bought the Critterville one because it's taller but yes both Willow and Ebony, (separately of course) both climbed out of it within minutes BUT I did find a work around solution, they both now love the pen and can't escape

Take a look at my thread

The playpens arrived

Yes Spot I recommend that! Lol
I've been looking for that playpen Willow Wisp but for the life of me I cannot find it in the UK! But now you say your Hammies climbed out I'm a bit out off :/

I can't for the life of me remember where I bought it from but I'm in the UK and got it ok so it is out there somewhere lol.
The escaping was easily solved and it's all easily stored too, I just fold it down and push it under the sofa when the girls aren't using it and it takes two seconds to put it up again

What about the Argos kids sandpits? They're not metal but I've heard a few days these work quite well
