They need separate crates. Feed them in separate crates and give

chewies in separate crates.

I understand. My wife and I were planning to get a second crate - they
are rapidly outgrowing the one we have now. At first, I didn't want to
get a crate at all - I grew up with dogs in the house, we had no crates
(I still tend to call it a 'cage'), and we had no problems with 'em.
However, I have to admit that it put a stop to all the nightly messes
on the kitchen floor, etc. They even slept better, right away. So I
changed my mind about that in a hurry - my wife was right.

Feed them in the crate? Doesn't that get a little messy?
