enclosure location

[hotrodslp]

hello all ...cham is a 5 month old ambilobe male in a 18x18x36 cage

my question is: is my cage in the best spot. he is near the sliding door to our patio so alot of foot traffic goes by...as well as having abusy household with 3 kids and a dog...people are passing by alot. he gets alot of alone time during the days we work, but when we and the kids are home...there are alot of people walking by, kids look into the cage etc.
\he is eating well....and active... for the most part...
just seeing if being in a somewhat busy area would be stressful for him....
thoughts welcome....

It can stress them, but it can also have the opposite effect. Where he can get used to it as it's his 'norm'. Provide lots of foliage so he can hide if he wishes. If he shows signs of stress due to where he is, you could move him.
Just be careful of any drafts from the doors and supervise when kids or dog nearby.

I just moved mine to a higher traffic area hoping to get her more used to people.
