They are all such individual characters.
I did remove the Niteangel, she really hated the thing in the end, I will try it next time she seems to want an out of cage adventure. I do keep my air conditioner on all day for her while I'm at work. For some reason the play sand I got her is ridiculously good at staying cool. I don't know what it is, but baked kids play sand from my local hardware store stays cool for days. She still loves the sand bath as much as ever, I do hear her rolling in it like normal at least during the night.

I hope she does too, I'm just glad she seems healthy. Cupcake seems too adventurous to stay this mad for much longer (I hope). She really loved exploring my room. If she stays aggressive I might consider getting her the Detolf sooner. I've been thinking of it since getting her, but wanted to wait until she settled in. If a bigger space makes her happier and less stressed though, maybe it could be worth a shot.

How much out of cage time do you give her?
I put the Niteangel in her little area in my room. She has a box similar to her nesting one in there, plus some toys & tunnels. I haven't given her out of cage time since those three days in a row she wanted it so badly. Do you think it might help? I've just been trying to minimize her stress and give her space all week.
