Renovating Cotton's Pen.....Again

Renovating Cotton's pen again Hahahahhaha I have no choice because of Koogle's stray pee issue. I would certainly hope that Koogle won't have to cage one day and if potty retraining can only improve very little, I better think of a plan B to have some damage control/ reduction in place. 

So here I am bought a 1m x 2m PVC mat online with free home delivery. The PVC mat is not heavy at all and only comes in black from this seller. I got it for $56. 


Previously I used corrugated boards but I find them a little unsightly with the tape and the size is not too fitting. I read online that bigger sizes of corrugated board is available to buy at store but the problem is: how do I transport back? Cab may not be large enough. I may need a van! 



So now this is the new setup! The 1m breadth is just nice for the playpen fence as well. The only cons is the black color unable to let me see their poops instantly. 



Well, only time will tell if this setup is effective or not. :D

Renovating His Playpen

So I went to the $2 shop again and to do some renovation to improve Cotton's litter-box to include a water bowl. As Cotton is very strong, so I also got an anti-slip mat to be placed underneath his litter-box to prevent him from moving his litter-box.

Anti-slip mat under his litter-box
As his cage base is no longer in use in his playpen, so there is no support to hold his log up and he could not use it anymore. He seems a little sad about it at first. So we bought some wooden blocks and cable-tie, hoping to level up the log a few inches.







Ta-da! And it is done within minutes. However, Cotton has yet to use it. Shall see over the time.

I also got him a metal hanging container to contain his dry hays. Now he is eating just like a horse stable concept. His litter-box space is limited and Cotton is rather big in size, hence, to have his water bowl, dry hay and treats - fresh vegetables/pellet, within that small tray and not disturbing his litter habits is really challenging.

So how did he fare under his newly renovated litter-box?







Not bad. His water bowl is also quite clean after a few hours of use - with minimal contamination from the dry hays and pellets.

The price of the renovation project: $16. :D
