About the out of cage time, my ham was just like yours, I felt I couldn't make her happy as she just wanted to get out of wherever she was. I eventually made her a ramp in and out of the playpen and put loads of large tubes and piles of duvets and stuff all over my room as she loved to climb and just kept her company in there for a couple of hours each night at the same time each evening, and eventually she settled, really enjoyed her playpen now she was free to come and go and had a whale of a time running round and round my room and through all the tubes and stuff. She even loved my parent's caravan when I took her away with me as I set it up all the same with the same stuff and it smelt familiar to her. She was hard work but we got there in the end!
