Product Review:
The Great Wall aka the Pet Corral

I bought The Great Wall (AKA The Pet Corral) play pen for my rats. It is an 18" wide piece of plastic strip as thick as a child's snow sled (the bendable type). It hooks together in any shape or size up to its limit with a velcro strip (which my rats haven't even tried to chew.) It was a little expensive, just under $50 with shipping, but gives my rats more romping space when I can't watch their every move.

My rats are not free range. I usually just hold or carry them. I still think it is important to check up on them periodically and sometimes sit inside the pen with them. I am amazed and complimented by how excited they are by using me as a giant human jungle gym.

My Pet Corral didn't include the bag pictured in the ad. I think it would stand up better on shag carpet than on my hardwood floors. I can easily wipe off my floors, whereas a carpet would be chewed and soiled and harder to keep clean. It tends to lean if I don't put a corner of it on a rug and make the shape more round than oval.

It was worth it for the fun my rats have and the smiles their antics bring to my face.
