In pic #3, I saw a little gap in the side of the inclosure, you may want to put a rock or something in it so that they can't escape. But otherwise, it's awesome!

There is a lid and they can't fit threw it so I am not worried about escape as much as it stressing them out. What I mean is they keep trying to fit threw it.

Beautiful, just a word of warning. Watch the plants around the borders. I had a Hosta that grew quickly and they used it as a ladder to scale the wall. I never expected it, they are persistent, intelligent and very inquisitive.

Good luck

I love it! Looks great. There is only one thing you may want to watch. My boxies are avid climbers and would scale the corners in a second then get caught in the chicken wire!

Its possible, probably not likely, but if they start climbing make sure they can't get caught.

I had a friend lose a 14 pound yellow foot because she got a leg stuck in chicken wire.

Fantastic! If you put some moss or flat stones around the water dish it might stay cleaner longer. I think it's great!

Looks great. Your baby will enjoy it for about a year; then, you'll have to think about building a larger enclosure. Our babies sure do keep us busy, don't they?

Yes I tried placing tiles around the water dish. I put moss around the water dish. I placed a small tarp around the water dish. Doesn't matter what I do, the water dish will become mud sometime by afternoon.

I decided changing the water dish 2 to 3 times a day is just easier.

Thats exactly what I do after many failed attempts :)
