| Red is crated for about 6 hours on average during work days. Occasionally he has been in there for upwards of 8 hours but I hate to do that to him... If I know we're going to be gone for longer than that, I'll have my MIL come over and let him out.
He's been loose at night for the last 4 months, and we've started leaving him out in the computer room (where his bed and everything is) for several hours for the past few weeks and he's been fine. We're gradually working our way up to longer periods so hopefully he can stay out all the time. Thankfully, he's never touched anything in the room while we're gone. And he still loves his crate - he voluntarily sleeps in there at night a lot. |
