Its all about routine routine routine and sticking to it!

Im a qualified behaviourist so my advise is professional. Yours like everyones including mine will get bored and more than likely start cage biting. Mine free runs my hole flat she knows her name and comes when called she also still uses her ball which she enjoys for a change.
What you need to do is make a routine and religiously stick to it as you would with a dog with there food and walking times. She must knows what to expect and when to stop this behaviour. Bordem comes from a lack of this or a total cage life with no freedom. My routine with Bella is that she without fail or excuse she comes out every other day either for a free run or in her ball and at ruffly the same time every time around 9pm. She learnt it in around 4wks and knows and trusts the routine that she will be let out and when so theres no need to stress not noing if she will ever get let out again. She hasn't cage bit since not even on the days she stays in!
