You are sweet to tell her that
Here is what I do: I have 2 excercise pens hooked together to make a large circular play area, inside they have their crates (with the doors open) 2 beds, their toy box, a potty pad, water and a little food which they usually don't eat! That gives them freedon to move around but are still contained and safe.
I got the excercise pens at Petsmart. Good Luck, she will adjust to the new schedule soon.
