How to Set Up a Maileg Playpen for Mouse Play

Quick answer

Set up your Maileg playpen by assembling the metal frame, placing the soft mattress, and arranging it with miniature accessories for a safe, charming play area for your Maileg mice.

Step-by-step setup

1. Unfold the metal frame: Gently pull the playpen's metal frame apart until it clicks into its full rectangular shape. The joints are sturdy but require a steady hand to avoid bending the bars. Common mistake: forcing the frame can bend the bars. Open it slowly and evenly.
2. Insert the mattress: Place the soft mattress flat inside the frame, ensuring it lies flush against the bottom edges. The mattress should not overlap the frame walls, as that would reduce usable play space. Check that the mattress is centered so your mouse has a level surface.
3. Add your mouse and accessories: Position your Maileg mouse inside the playpen, then add miniature furniture or toys like a tiny chair or blanket. Keep items low and stable to prevent tipping during play. Avoid overcrowding—leave room for the mouse to move freely.
4. Secure the playpen for display: If displaying on a shelf, place the playpen against a wall or use a small non-slip mat underneath to prevent sliding. For active play, supervise children to keep the pen from being knocked over. The playpen is not a travel carrier—it is designed for stationary play and display.
