Sounds like you have solved the problem but make sure she cant get stuck in the top with her head. Maybe there is a way you can put somethin in the top to keep her extra safe. I am just a worry wart.

 

Thanks for your suggestion. I had instant anxiety when I realised that this could be a problem. I don't think she could actually get that high at the moment but its only a matter of time. I have used ziplock tags to add a couple of wire pet run/cage sides to the top. The only issue I have now is that there is a gap all the way around the top. I thought I could get some of that bendy wire and make zig zags all around. My husband thinks I am worrying too much but... I'm a worry wart too!!!

 

I just wanted to thank you for the post. I would of never thought to flipping the crate up side down. Unfortunately the holes on the top now are huge. My 3 month old puppy can stand up and put his head through the hole. I'm not concerned about him getting his head stuck right now. He's growing bigger everyday. One day he might be fine but the next day he might not be fine. I have 2 new crates and don't need the dividers. I'm going to put the dividers on the top so the holes will not be a problem.

 

try putting a piece of wood or something on top to make it a solid flat surface? there wouldn't be a way for their head to fit through the holes then
