Yesterday was my birthday, and we were at Disney all day. We got home around nine, completely pooped. I fed Rocko and held him for a minute, but I was so tired I just had to go to sleep.
Around two thirty, a crashing sound woke me up. I listened for a second, and it sounded like a washing machine was on or something! I got up and turned the light on, only to see Rocko jump off the wheel and run under his snuggle sack. I thought, "Was he just running on his wheel?!"
So I turned the light off and sat as still as I could right next to his cage. Sure enough, he ran back out and onto the wheel and began running like nobody's business!
I'm sooo proud of him! I was starting to worry that he'd be one of those hedgies who never picks up wheeling, and I wasn't sure how I was going to keep him from getting overweight. But it looks like he's finally picked up exercising!
Man, though, that Comfort Wheel is LOUD! Rocko must have ran on his wheel for three hours, keeping me awake. I may have to look into something a little more quiet. But right now I'm just sooooo happy he learned!!
