Just recently Kai got the house to himself. In our first house..he had a cage when we left for school but my grandma would come back and let him out and free to roam around the house. Our 2nd house, he got the whole house the whole day we were out to school. Most of the time, someone was home. When he was alone, he was good. At our 3rd house (our current one), he's fine. He stays home with my grandma most of the day. When we go out to dinner or something, we let him have the whole house (top floor and bottom). I make sure there aren't things that are safety hazards lying around.
