Donna, I think if you have an open carrier for Puddin' to retreat into if she feels like she needs the security everything should be ok.

I think get rid of the cage and just keep on eye on them. I am sure Puddin' and Parker will let you know if the cage is needed again. So, maybe for the next 2 or 3 days just leave it stored close at hand. Outside of their room but close enough to access it if needed in a hurry.
