They have been in neutral 2×4, and then expanded to 4×4, for over a week around the clock. This not an open 4×4 but a 2×4 and then a doorway out to another 2×4.

What I’ve learned actually, is this has little to do with neutral vs non-neutral; it just happened that way because my neutral spaces are small. When NewBoyBun thinks he can run, he runs at the speed of a binky500 bouncing around, which triggers my girl. He is very skittish and anxious. There was another 2×4 neutral area that I had to abandon because he learned he could run. The current 2×4 is a small half-bath so one feels closed in and knows they can’t bounce around. The additional area is a small hallway outside the half-bath, also walled in.

There’s been absolutely no issues but NewBoyBun doesn’t sleep with the other two. He sleeps, at first 3ft away, and now 1.5ft away. They do interact but he’s still a bit on his own. I think I’ll try to wait until he sleeps with the other two?

But, I don’t know how to proceed from here. I can them fighting/chaos if I move them but current setup cannot last. Human can’t move around and they also don’t have much room.
