Currently, my checkered giant is 30 inch dog crate. I want to get a bigger one and give him a shelf too. BUT I was curious which would be better, cheaper, easier to clean, more convenient - a bigger dog crate (2 door or 3 haven't decided yet) or an NIC cage. My problem currently with the dog crate is it doesn't have any sides to keep in hay or poops he may kick out. Also, because of the smaller size of crate his litter box isn't as big as it should be - which is probably why he is kicking out the poops. NIC or dog crate he will have a shelf - what do I cover it with? Would a heavy fabric be ok? I want him to be able to jump up there and not slide off (like if I used cardboard). If I went with a dog crate - could I put coroplast inside it for a border or would that make it difficult? Oh last question - are the NIC cages solid on the bottom - as in there are cubes on the bottom too? Thanks any and all replies.
