Not holding out just don’t remember which ones I have and haven’t. Besides I do work and have other hobbbies. I enjoy long walks on the beach at sunset, wine tasting, coin collecting, not to mention my metal detecting club which takes up a considerable amount of my free time.

So I have been trying to think of some very simple, but stable round pen ideas... I found a picture of this hula hoop pen and thought about using 36" hoops wrapped with 16ga 1" x 1/2" welded wire and a sheet metal top. Is this wire small enough to prevent coons from reaching in? I would have to stake them, but wanted something light enough to move quickly. These would be for miniature stags. Comments, suggestions?

Good idea. for reinforcement.

My (ex) sister-in-law makes hulahoops out of PVC and tape.

A coon could definitely reach into that wire.

I’ve watched a raccoon pull a snare off it’s neck. It’s amazing what they can do with them hands.

I know they have great dexterity! What about 1/2" x 1/2"? It is not as heavy, but the openings are smaller. I though about making the roost pole so the stag would sleep in the center, but if coons work the cage, I do not want them reaching in.

How does she get them circular? Heat?
