I just bought a pet incloser for my degu and it’s absolutely brilliant it’s called Kossy expandable play pen. You can get them on amazon I have now half my living room secure for the little fur balls no more worrying about them or the state of my house 😂

Wow, this looks great! Let us know how it holds up. I can imagine the only downside will be that it is transparent so I can imagine they will spend a lot of time trying to escape, are the edges and joins chewable?

I would absolutely love to see some photos of them inside that!! Is it sturdy enough for you to be in there with them?

Yes it’s sturdy and you can add brick ties for extra security. I haven’t used them as they are strong enough without. They tried a nibble but it’s hard thick plastic so they were like hey I have treats I don’t need this plastic.
One of mine try’s to dig his way out but the plastic is very strong and it’s been two days and not even a scratch I think he just likes the noise now (sounds like a mini drum)
I will try to get some pictures on tomorrow I’ll have to make a Flickr account.

When you're in Flickr, there should be an option to share (copy link). Worst case, open the photo in Flickr and post the link in the address bar on here.

Once you have got your photo onto FlickR, click on the arrow shaped share button and copy the link it offers you. Paste this link into the reply box on here. I can't remember if you have to setup up which image link it gives you, any will do, but look for something like hotlink for forums or bbcode.

It's great! Just be sure that none of the things you have in there are close enough to accomodate a flying leap for freedom, cause they certainly WILL try it! Love your pup sitting and watching. 3D doggy TV!!

Yeah I noticed that they are a bit crazy with the jumping I made sure everything is well away from the edges. Yeah my dog (Boba Fett) loves them he makes friends with all the small pets. Never left unsupervised of course!

Mine would also probably scale the back of the cage then jump over, they are unbelievably sneaky! It looks great though and good value for money if it withstands chewing. Let us know how it holds up. I have tried so many playpens, my current one has lasted 10 months with no escapes and I am always interested in other people's creations!

Hi Allan how easy is this to put up and put away? I am working on a new pen for my boys and this looks great!

Hi Claire yes it’s very easy to put up just slots into place. It takes me about ten minutes but that’s with double checks if you left it out permanently you could use the brick ties that come with it. Mine have chewed it, clawed and it and it only shows the slightest of damage and I mean little scratches on the black plastic bits they have given up now.

Don't be fooled Allan, it's all part of their great scheme for world domination!
Stage one - look cute and adorable, to be taken in to as many hooman households as possible
Stage two - gain hooman trust
Stage three - lull into a false sense of security
Stage four - assemble strike force, substituting trusted comrades where possible (hoomans can't effectively tell us apart)
Stage five - strike! The world is ours!
The PWD (plan for world domination) is an all too real threat! Be warned!

Yeah, mine took a week to infiltrate my kitchen, and now there's no stopping them. I'm terrified! I've had to temporarily disable my IP Goocam in the kitchen to halt the conspiracy meetings!
