You had said that on the first night she was just sitting there being nice and quiet

Before she knew ..... in the crate means sleep
now she saw..... hey there's a whole new brave new world out there at night
Put her in her usual time
make sure she poops and has everything she needs and let her cry a bit
do not try and console her ... because your voice will reinforce her crying
after a few mins she'll calm down and go to sleep |
well she had to come out the time i let her out as she had not had her second poop of the day- even though she was given ample opportunity. and she did end up having to poop.
However, i'm not sure I agree that she is wanting out to "play"- She will go in her crate on her own at night because she is tired and she knows it is bedtime. Sometimes I'll try and take her out to cuddle with me in bed while I watch tv and she wants nothing of it. She's 3 and has been in her crate since she was 4 months old.
I'm not sure what the answer is but i'm hoping it doesn't happen tonight. It makes me really sad that she is so upset to go in her crate all of a sudden.
