I was thinking of doing the same since we leave Luna in her play pen in times where we can't play with her. There she can see us coming and going and perhaps will feel more comfortable eating on her own than in her nightly sleeping area. I was also thinking of just letting her stay in her play pen through the night as well since she seems to be OK with sleeping in there.
Do you all think that she really associates being left in her crate area as negative and perhaps we need to change it up a bit or praise her more when she goes there? She is doing so well in her play pen, I wish it was the same in her crate area. Oh, and by crate area I mean to say that we have given her the shower of the guest bathroom. It's pretty big, in there we have her food, water, crate, and toys.
