Here is a thought for both of you. Go and buy a painters drop cloth (home depot - I like the cotton heavy weight ones - less noise and they can't pull them up) and then buy a xpen. Put the drop cloth down on your carpet and then put the xpen on top of it. They can eat their kong full of peanut butter or other flavors they sell. I have an extra large xpen ( I bought the tallest so there is no chance of anyone climbing out of it and I put two together) and when I have to put the little gang in an xpen they are happy and are not destroying anything. I leave the big gang free roaming during the day.
