Playpen/Gate with Door for Small Bun

[Blaire]

Milo is a tiny three-pounder, Polish mix. I want to find a playpen or a gate that I can latch onto Command Hooks to cover a 6-foot opening. It would be ideal for it to have a door for me to enter his space. 

It seems that, when there is a door, there are usually large gaps in the pen. Since he is so tiny and loves to rattle his current playpen (Ware Manufacturing), I want to find something that I won’t have to worry about.

Thanks in advance!!

It doesn’t have a gate but we use this for our buns when they’re out for play time: https://www.amazon.ca/Four-Paws-Folding-Panel-17-Inch/dp/B0126Y9T5O

The nice thing about this is, it’s easy for us to step over and the bars aren’t wide enough for them to get their heads stuck. The downside is, it’s wood so they can chew on it unless you cover it with a towel or grids.

Hi Blaire
I noticed you 2 threads of this topic. I’m going to move this one to the Habitat sub-foum since it already has a reply, and I’ll delete the duplicate one.

It seems that, when there is a door, there are usually large gaps in the pen.

Do you mean large spacing between the all vertical bars? 

Or with baby gates, the gap between edge of gate and wall?  I notice some of those leave a gap a little bunny could easily get through.

If attaching with Command fixture, part of an ex-pen would probably be easier and more light weight. Are any of the mid west xpens suitable.

Or are you looking for a pet/baby gate that doesn’t have bars?

This is nice!  But doesn’t quite extend to 6ft, but almost.

Pricey, but one of the nicer gates I’ve seen, for sure. 

And a DIY free standing gate:

I really like this too, though I’d still want to secure it to the wall somehow, just in case it could accidently be pushed over from the pet free side. Maybe if it had those leg like extensions on the ends like the frontgate one, that wouldn’t be an issue.

Omg thank you for all of these wonderful ideas!!! I’m going to check them out and weigh all of the pros and cons.

Also, I initially posted this in the wrong forum topic and didn’t know how to move/delete it  Thank you for helping me with that too

No problem. You wouldn’t have been able to move or delete it.
