My Nitnoy sleeps in a carrier that I have in my room for days Harley won't leave the others alone. He goes in for a time out. until he slows down. It is better than yelling at him or spritzing him with water, the whole house would be sopping wet all the time. Maybe you could coax them out from their hiding places with a specil treat.
