Hello all, for those of you in the UK, hope you have all had a nice bank holiday weekend !
Just wanted to ask a couple of things relating to my Horsfield, about his sleeping and waking.
Ralph, my 6 month old, usually takes himself into his hide for sleep between 4- 6 pm and will remain in his hide (I assume asleep for the duration) right around till the morning .. when I wake him up.
I have been waking Ralph up each morning between 6am-8am (depending on what time he went off to sleep, and what time I am up for work), I awake him by gently picking him up and placing him near to his UV/basking light, which seems to gently ease him to awakening.
My question is simply, should I be waking him up ? The only reason I have been, is because on 1 or 2 mornings, he hasn't seemed to wake himself .. so come the early afternoon I felt I should wake him !
Should I carry on ? or should I just leave him to it ?
Many thanks !
Jake
