we started all of ours in crates while they were housebreaking and getting over the chewing stage. We had got away from it and Sadie had notbeen in a crate for quite some time. Even ciny was crate free for about 4 months. Then they started tearing stuff up in the house again. So far it has been a book or two here and there. I know this is partially our fault, as we have been gone a lot the last 2 or 3 weeks, but we still can't have them tearing apart the house. So until we get some issues worke out, all three are being crated when we are gone.

Right now I don't see why Binx has to be crated. What I might watch though, as more teeth start to come in, what kind of chewing he may do. You may need to crate, or at least limit is freedom....but if he never chews, has accident, etc, etc, etc...no need to crate him just beause.
