I want to fit a medium crate and dog litter pan plus food/water dish within the 6 panel set up. Is there sufficient room to do that?

I think all of that would fit. If you connect it into a rectangle the usable space is 60 inches long by 29.5 inches wide.

It will be a tight fit. The inside measurement of each connected panel is 29". So, a rectangle configuration comes measures 29" x 59.5"; a hexagon set up has a diameter of about 60" at it's widest ponts. When our dog was a puppy, we got creative with configurations to allow him room while providing access to his crate. We used zip ties to secure the panels to the sides of the crate, the crate becoming one of the "sides."We have been very pleased with this system! Easy to clean, dog cannot climb, easy to change configurations, very sturdy.

When we first got we had a puppy about 5 lbs. and used a small soft crate from pet gear for her to sleep in and left water and a puppy pad on a plastic tray holder. This worked well but not a lot of room to play. She is now fully grown and 10 lbs and stopped using the puppy pad. She holds it all day. She now just has water and the same small soft crate and some safe toys. There is more room this way. Guess we are just lucky that she prefers not to go on a pad. We have it set up in the hexagon shape. I wish it were just a little larger but she seems to like it and goes in it even when we are in that room with the door open so she must like her little room.

Yes. You need to buy the correct size for your crate so you would want a 42 by 28 inch size, but the Velcro closings are on all four of the sides, so you can raise or lower any of the sides. It works very well.

I don't know much about rabbits but the crate is roomy. You can also line the tray with newspaper and/or whatever you need. When it's time to clean the tray it can easily be removed for fast clean up. Hope this helps.

With the pockets. Technically, if you're careful, and have a very sharp knife or power tool that cuts, you can cut-off the pockets between the pockets and the pan. That way, the litter box would be ~28-inches.

That would depend on several things. We use what's denominated as a "large" litter pan. Underneath it, we have textured liner (specifically sold to go under a litter pan) that both collects litter that spills and keeps the litter pan from shifting. We push the pan up against the end with the entrance to the box. There's an inch or so clearance along the long sides of the box and three to four inches clearance on the end opposite the entrance, where I keep the litter scoop. We have the internal divider up and keep supplies on the other side of it. Assuming a set-up like ours, if a cat "misses," you could very easily pull out the pan (and the liner) and clean up as necessary. You'd have to squat down and reach in to do it, but there's plenty of room to do that easily, assuming average physical ability. You could reduce the space inside by using a larger pan, but that would probably end up getting more of the mess on the walls than on the liner. Using a smaller box would most likely keep more of the mess on the liner. But the doors open up the entire length of the box, so clean up is very straightforward.

Like theatre mom, I too purchased this (size 36) for a 40 lb puppy to use in a pet friendly hotel. The size I bought is much too big to be set up inside my car; perhaps in the back of an SUV. It would definitely hold two 10-lb dogs. I suggest you measure the vehicle space you have in order to pick the right size crate you want.

This would be more than big enough. I bought it to crate train a mini weiner dog, she has room for her kennel, food dishes and play room.

We use various brands of wire crates. The best advice I have is to measure the crate bottom and the tray door to see if the pan's dimensions fit your crate. From experience, crate sizes appear to be fairly standard, however, some brands may not (which ones I do not know). Measuring your crate will determine whether or not the tray will fit.

Since there are two drop doors on the front,I suspect you could rig one there. The lower side doors could also be adapted,you'd give up one set of food dishes. I have a rather large spherical bath in mine and still plenty of room for a pair. A box would probably fit. Mama's can have 5 or even 6 kiddos though. If I was still into breeding,I'd buy the large cage and plan on a few more down the road.Good luck Carol

The container is actually six inches so it will not fit I'm afraid. We use two containers as litter boxes!

My 8 pound Chi mix fits with plenty of room. I agree a platform would be good but great carrier for the price.

I think it would be enough room. Not a hug litter box but a regular size one would work just fine. I put two small cats in mine with food water and a cat bed and they were happy.

It will work, while it won't be very big, there should be enough room for dog, a bed, and water bowl.

I have a Life Stages 1648 crate that is 30 x 48 inches. I put six wheels on the crate which makes it work just fine. Two in each corner and two in the middle on each side.

Could definitely fit and be able to move fairly freely but the floor of the crate is not sturdy at all. My 11 lb cat makes it sag when carrying him in it. It isn't comfortable carrying it. If on the floor it's fine.

I was able to comfortably fit a triangular litter pan in a corner but I also took the ramp out since my rabbit just liked to throw it around the cage. I also had a woven grass mat under the shelf and all of this fit great and still had lots of extra room for my holland lop to move around.

Yes, the dimensions are correct. But if you are planning on keeping it in the cupboard, it won't work. The top pops up so you can put the dirty litter in the container and you will need 28" to use it.
