it is according how long you plan on keeping it........if its just up to a week a roll cage would be fine.....if longer make you a good pen out of wood 3ftx3ft should do good if you want to keep it a while

HEAVY GAUGE WIRE FOR SURE I had one in a rabbit cage and he bent the wire and got out. didn't do him any good the dogs just trailed him to his little hiding place once I got home from work and saw that he had escaped. Susie has her's in chain link.

but shouldint u put somthing over top like wood or just some mor fense cause culdent they climb the fence

ihave heard form a couple of people that keepin a coon for a while in an demestict area there scent will change a little.. is this true??

it definatly could bcause of different food, bedding, city water and so on.....never thought about it that much, i doubt that it would affect in training a pup though

yeah, you def need something on the top I think susie has more chain link on top.

i only have one trap too... i made my own cage out of fencing, a wooden front for the door, acouple henges and a lock.

heres a picture of my cat helping me build it

The best pen for coon is the woods.If you're training a coon dog,train it to hunt, not wait on you to produce a coon in a cage for it to bark at.I PROMISE YOU, as I've said a million times,you DON'T need caged coons to train pups,and if you have an older dog that needs to see caged coons to get fired up to go hunting, you DON'T have a coon dog.But if you are convinced that you do need a coon, trap one, use it for a day, and let it go.When you need another one, trap another one, use it for a day, and let it go.

i converted my old chicken pen into a coon pen it's about 5' wide 15' long 8' tall i had to check it over to make it coon profe and put tree branches and platforms were they can get up high and exersize it's peretty cool

Make a small cage out of rabbit wire and put him in the barn.
