Indoor Housing For Winter : Is A Paddling Pool Okay?

[Moo]

I'd want a back up plan for ecase the pool gets chewed or punctures, that would be a nightmare problem at anytime of the day.

How about this : Fabric Pet Foldable Play Pen for Puppy, Cat, Guinea Pigs with Carry Case

Yes I have an xl one of these for a house for my bunny( used to be an indoor piggie run before) but for the bunny its always open for him...but for a piggie it would make a good indoor home.

Just something else to bear in mind (that I learnt the hard way!) with paddling pools - a lot of the time, the sides are not held rigidly in place and it's only the pressure of being filled with water that makes them keep their shape and holds the sides up. I bought one from ToysRUs that had this exact problem and they wouldn't let me take it back either

The plastic ones don't seem to bad (rigid plastic not the soft plastic).

Yeah you can get solid plastic ones shaped like shells or turtles etc.
