Desmond has very surely outgrown his crate, and we need to buy him a new one. I was thinking though, about getting an ex-pen instead. I have a good area where I could keep it, and I prefer the space he would have in comparison to a crate.
I'm not quite sure on which to buy though... He does quite like his crate (wire) but he is in there for 7 hrs or so a day on school days, and I like the idea of him having room to stretch out nice and move around. I very highly doubt he would poo or pee in an ex pen, he's never shown any indication that he would. I do worry about the security and structure of them though. I don't really think he would or could jump it, but he may knock it over.
What do you guys think? Would an ex-pen be a good investment or should we just stick with a larger wire crate that we know he would be fine in, but would have less "wiggle room"? Are there any ex pens that are fairly secure indoors that don't cost a fortune?
