Well, Toby has been staying in his cage when we are not home, and that seems to be working fine. At night, he is in his cage downstairs - while we sleep upstairs, and that did not work - incessant barking, plus if he gets too upset he will get diarheaa (in the cage and out of it) and that would be bad.
So one of us sleeps downstairs with him. Sara and I are kinda taking turns. Of course, now I'm coming down with a nasty cold, so the lack of sleep and such are having an impact. I'm at the stuffy head and painful phlem cough stage.
