Default Play pen ideas?

I want to get a play pen for Dolly as her out of cage time is usually spent in her ball which I don't really like using.
All reviews I've seen of some pens suitable for hams say that they've managed to climb over them.

What play pens do you all have?

I want it relatively cheap or even possibly homemade!

If you want to make one you could try this http://www.hamstercentral.com/commun...x-playpen.html or if you want to go really cheap you can make one out of cardboard as they can't climb that if it's high enough.

The bath is a really lovely safe play area for hamsters.

Cardboard works okay for me so long as I remember to keep anything platformy away from the edges. It started getting a good chewing the last time but cardboard boxes are easy replaced.

Thanks everyone. I might have a look into using cardboard clipped together. I'll have to watch her for chewing though.

I think putting her in the bath might give my mum a heart attack though!
