Do you think Child Protective Services would care?

I just put together the guinea pig cage that I bought my daughter for her birthday guinea pigs. She won't get the pigs for another month, but I wanted to make sure all the parts were there and I had the room for it.

Anyway, she has climbed inside and made me close the door. She's upstairs, locked in a guinea pig cage, and I'm downstairs going about my business. I keep calling up to her to ask if she wants out, but she says no. I kind of feel like I'm abusing her...but I'm only doing what she wants.

Maybe I'll luck out, and she'll fall asleep in there and I'll have an afternoon to myself!}(

My friend's daughter climbs into her dog crates all the time and has so much fun! You need to post a pic for us

My two cents...for whatever it's worth.

If your pig's crate contains shredded cedar or the like, be careful your daughter is not inhaling too much of the dust. I believe it can be a breathing irritant.

My daughter had several guinea pigs growing up

My daughter and her two friends used to love to crawl into the dog crate and pretend that they were puppies. We had a 125 lb dog, so the crate was big enough for the girls.
The dog used to get quite bent out of shape - the crate was "hers".

Take some pics, they grow out of this stuff so fast!

LOL!!! That sounds so cute! I am smiling from ear to ear! Kids are great!

BTW I am still calling cps right now. I think that you are the adult and shouldn't lock your daughter into a cage, even at her request and no matter how "cute" it is. Your gonna wish you never posted this!

Just kidding!!!!!!! Did I scare you?????}( I hope not, please forgive me! I am feeling ornery today.

You don't mention how old your daughter is but if she's "chatty" you just might want to be careful about her "mentioning" that Mommy locked her in a cage.... Ya never know!

Do they come large enough to fit a teenager in? I won't tell on you if you stay mum on the duct tape trussing (Thank you, Shelley!) and taser therapy for re-training messy kids I have in mind!

That's hysterical!!! My parents have a new dog and my daugther climbs in the crate with him all the time. She sits in there with him and feeds him his dry food one piece at a time.

Candi - the cage is empty. It's just out of the box and won't be inhabited for another 6 weeks.

Ha!!! :7 I have a friend whose niece was put in a large baby doll box with the cellophane "window" in the front because she wanted to get in. I think she was 2 or 3 at the time. The picture of it is hysterical. We laughed our heads off because she looks like a real babydoll in the picture! This lil' girl looks like a Precious Moment with her pure white hair and blue eyes. I think this could be a danger should the lil' girl crawl in herslf especially with the cellophane against her nose/mouth but a cage would definitely be different. Soooo Donna, how much have you gotten done today???
Came back to edit. I called you Doona! :7
