I’ve chosen one of those newfangled transparent enclosures with clear panels that you connect with zip ties and/or plastic caps. Going to go with a coroplast base folded up on the outside so bun can’t chew the coroplast.
Here’s where I run into trouble.
1) I see pictures of people lying down in the enclosure and letting bun climb on them and sniff them. I thought people aren’t supposed to invade bun’s space? This is especially crucial when bun is new, right? So how would we get near enough to sit with a book and let bun sniff us?
2) I don’t think coroplast is made to be stepped on by humans. The coroplast will be on top of existing carpet flooring so it will very likely crease under our weight.
3) The transparent enclosures, as cool as they look, don’t have doors. Whoever enters will have to climb over the wall which I imagine could be terrifying for a new baby bun.
I think an obvious solution would be to abandon the “enter the enclosure” idea and let bun come out to us but I also read you’re not supposed to lift bun during the acclimation period. But there’s not really a good way to “open” the enclosure since it’s made to be 1 rectangular or square unit without a swinging panel that acts like a door.
Hope to hear from anyone with experience with this type of setup. Or just a love to hear from experienced bun owners with possible solutions! Thank you!
