My Poe has hated being in her cage ever since she acquired me.
I have obliged her by allowing her out of her cage as long as she wants AND as long as she poops first.
I am wondering how safe it is for her to be out of her cage?
I'm worried about her not getting enough heat or UVB from her cage to keep her healthy.
Is it safe for her to be out of the cage while I'm home all day?
