Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get some materials to make a bunny pen?
It's a bit of a strange request, however, because I'm splitting a room in half and only need a straight bit of wire/ pen, but I need it to fold/ roll up so that I can store it when Pip is in his cage at night/ while I'm out at work.
I'll do my best to explain what I mean!!
Pip lives in my bedroom, which is pretty much just a big cube. My bed is in one half and Pip's cage is opposite the end of my bed, against the wall. What I want to do is split the room across the middle with something- this is mainly to stop him getting under my bed and also means I can sit at my desk and work while he is out (and don't have to worry about him getting at my cables)
My question is, what can I use?
The 'wall' needs to be 12ft long (width of one wall to my wardrobe) and at least 32" high (so that it should be future proof for when Pip's bigger)
It also needs to be able to fold up or roll for easy storage (I was thinking chicken wire- but I don't know if this is sturdy enough to make a wall across my room.
I've looked at runs and pens, but ideally I want him to have access to the biggest space and to be able to go back in his cage (as he goes in to use the toilet, and it means as little disruption for him as possible!)
Another factor in this is money- I've looked online and the best thing suited to my needs is something like this, but folded out straight-
But I'm not sure if it would be long enough to reach both ends of my room, and they tend to be really overpriced.
I ideally need to get materials to make this today to let him run around tonight- last night my bunny proofing didn't go so well and he got under my bed and it took an age to get him out again!
I'm in the UK if it helps, and have access to a Homebase/ Dobbies and B&Q this afternoon
Thanks guys!
