yes I would keep her in an ex pen while you are gone until she is older. I kept Pixie in an ex pen until she was 2 while I was not home bc I worried about her getting into things. It made me so that I did not have to worry when I was out.
Also when they are being house broken if they have too much area to run around in they are more likely to have an accident. I set up my ex pen the elongated way with a bed at one end food and water in the middle and a pee pad at the end near the door of the ex pen.
When I went somewhere she went in her pen..... hope this helps I have stepped in poop before barefoot and it is sooo gross!!!
