Alright, I have a MAJOR problem...Jack is an escape artist and somehow mangages to squeeze out of his crate on a daily basis. This has been happening on and off for months but has recently turned into an all the time thing for him.
Today I got home from school (I got to waive exams today so I got home reeeeeally early :D ) and I was surprised to see Jack meeting me at the door and not in his crate. I walked in my room and the pan for the bottom of the crate is across the room, the cage is tilted up on one end and it's in the middle of the room (instead of against the wall) :eek: He is officially CRAZY!!! It's a folding wire crate and the front and back go in and then the rest folds all up, well somehow he gets the front to go back and then sqeezes out of the tiny slit :eek: I really wish I could catch him in action, lol, I wonder how long it takes him :confused:
Here he is in his crate (taken a couple of weeks ago) See the little white ties everywhere?? There were more but he BROKE them!!!!! And there are currently little carabeaners everywhere so I have no idea how he managed to get out today, its really frustrating me!

But anyway, the crate is a little small, it was one that I got for free when he was a baby. I want to buy him a new one but I'm not sure if it would be worth it to spend that much money and then have him breaking out still...I just want a cure, lol!! I'm afraid he will hurt himself one of these times :(
Any suggestions or ideas for a new crate or something to help the breaking out problem would be GREATLY appreciatied :)
