outdoor enclosure advice

[Sammy28]

I'm looking to, since its nice and sunny and warm for the summertime, an awesome way to mix bathing and just hanging out for an outdoor inclosure. what i'm looking for is to be able to bathe him while I hang out on my back porch (really nice, I live on the second floor of a duplex and have a huge porch on top of the lower's garage.) and get the sun ray's he likes too. thing is, outside he wants to EXPLORE.

My problem is if I make a high-wall kiddie pool, the sun might be blocked. and if I make it too low, he'll keep trying to get out.

Suggestions?

I was just going to buy some chicken wire and stick the prongs in the grass. I haven't actually tried it yet, though.

tell how it goes, because that sounds like a good idea!!

Yeah, I'm trying to think if a close-knit mesh will be easier for him to climb. I think if the wire "holes" are large enough that he can't climb them, but small enough that he can't get through them, it might work. I'll let you know. It's been kinda cool out lately, so I haven't taken him outside recently.

Chicken wire is a good idea. Also, when I kept rabbits, I got a cheap stainless steel dog fence that comes in various sizes. This one was about 4x4', but they come in all different sizes. They're also collapsible so you can easily take them down and store them. Then I guess you could get a little kiddie pool to put inside. Now I'm wishing I hadn't sold mine when I got rid of the rabbits.
