Now, my question is... Will he get some decent UVB rays even if the sun isn't directly on him? Can he get some UVB light even if it's cloudy/towards evening???

think UVB can still be obtained during a cloudy day, but I'm not certain if it's the same amount that Filbert would get on a sunnier day. In any case, he's getting fresh air, and something fun and new to do.
