But I don't think i'm able to have an open compost heap. And are there things that I shouldn't put in the compost heap...

    Behaviour

    behaviour is that baby comes out 1st and won't let the others out. If they try to go out they basically get in trouble and get chased back inside. The only way they can go out is if I guide them out myself and if they go away from me Baby will chase them back to me.
