beenie Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Do you think it's ok (read - wise!) to use a wooden playpen for a 15+ week old pup?? I have one here we borrowed from friends to use for our kids... wouldn't want it to get chewed! I intend using it as a 'buffer zone' around the crate so my 2 and 5yo kids (human ones!) can't get to the crate while the puppy is sleeping and for short term confinement only. Not going to be leaving her in there all day while we go out or anything. Good idea or bad idea?? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rysup Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 It will get chewed....so if you dont want it to get chewed, I would get something metal :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beenie Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks Rysup, I'll head to bunnings and get some of those compost bin/puppy pens lol! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellz Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Agree with Rysup. Anything you don't want chewed WILL get chewed! The metal compost cages are fabulous and incredibly cheap. The beauty of them is that you can use them indoors or out. I use mine outdoors in summer covered in shadecloth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used a wooden one for my labs and it's not been chewed, I guess it depends how much activity is in there for them not to want to get out!!!

ellz Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Perhaps. But I'd not be taking the risk with something that doesn't belong to me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Puppies like to chew wood. I have teeth marks in my wooden stairs and bookcase from naughty puppies. I would go with the metal puppy pen/ bunnings pen. A plus is that you wont have to bend over it to get the pup in an out of. You can just swing open a panel.
