yeah i check mine all the time... and i do mean all the time... he is in my kitchen with me next a nice window....

and yeah im not to sure how long he was sittin in it... i woke up at 630 today *thanks to my kiddies** so cleanin up was the first thing i did..i just dont want him to develop belly rot

and yeah i will deff look into those kinda bowels... the only thing is, i use paper towels cause its easier to clean each week...
