Yes - I was wondering about that!! I have heard of animals doing that before.

Do you have any idea how long it usually takes them to adjust, and how I will be able to tell when he's over the danger of trying to walk home?

Our new place is only about 7 miles from the house we live in now. I think he might be able to find his way back, and I don't want that to happen.

The enclosure is probably the best way to go - I'll put it right outside the window and open the window when he wants to go outside. But eventually I'd like to remove the enclosure, once he's got his bearings etc.
