  Golbez’s kittens are over 2 weeks old and like to hop out of their box to roam around my room. It is adequately bunny proof for a bun of Golbez’s size but I am worried they could easily slide under my door.
  I read online that after they leave the nest it should be removed so they’ve since been moved to a box where they usually can’t get out though they tend to find a way sometimes that I can’t seem to see. Unless they’re just THAT good at jumping/climbing at this point in time. Main concern is that they won’t get fed just wandering around outside of the box + that they won’t be able to get back into the box where it’s warmer with all the other kittens. I work quite a bit during the day and like most people sleep at night. So were they to escape at a time I wasn’t around then several hours or more could go by and…yeah, I don’t know.
  Anyways, just curious on how anyone else kept kits in one spot at all times when they are getting to the point that they are escape artists.

  I tried fixing the typo in the title but this forum treats edits as new posts for some reason. Ugh.

  I can’t seem to keep them contained without also keeping the mother away from them…really need some advice here and google isn’t helping.

  Could you keep them in a separate cage, without the box? Then just let them out into the room when you are there to supervise?
  I cannot recall what I did ! But I only had the one baby to see to.

  I’ve fixed that for you now. Did you try editing by going in to edit your first post?

  I’d need another cage/litter box for Golbez… That’ll cost money that I don’t have right now. But that’ll likely be what I invest in next. Only problem is how do I get the cage set up so that mom can come and go freely without the babies getting out?

  Is it one of those cages that has a fold down door that becomes like a ramp? Or top opening door?
