Hello!
Here are some suggestions for letting them out.
Be sure the room is secure, nothing dangerous for them to chew on, and be
sure they can't get into the heating ducts. Also be aware of furniture that
they can hide in. A small closed off room is the best.
Usually when I get mine out, I only let them crawl around on me. Some people
like to let them run around in the bathtub. You could also put some toys in
the tub for them to explore.
Find what works best for you and enjoy!
