Millie I might add here (and I agree fully with the time out issues) that
by putting them in a small cage with no amenities (I don't even put food
or water as the time outs are so short) sitting in the middle of the area
where the rest are playing, works wonderfully.  They simply do not like
being on the "inside" looking on the "outside".  I've checked nasty
behavior with one of my girls with only 2 time outs like this.  Putting
them back in their nice comfortable, familiar cage might not be a
deterrent simply because it's their home.
