Hi,
Woke up to a very cold morning, nothing new here in MT. BUT, found Puck not huffing and cussing at us...not him at all. He's still getting use to us and always gives us an earful first thing in the AM.
He had crawled into a tissue box he plays with and went to sleep...without his blankie. Also, we had moved his cage to a stand along an external wall. That made his cage cooler than it normally is. Doh! :roll:
He was fairly tightly balled and while breathing quickly, he was not himself. I took a warmed Snugglesafe and wrapped it, placed him on top in his blanket and within 5 mintues he was giving us heck.
A few mealworms and a dab of cat food later he was sleeping normally.
Later I found him with his butt hanging out of the covers, splatted with a poop dangling.
Great, I'm thinking he was overheated...no, just sleepy and grumpy when I moved him.
He had been traveling very far and late on his wheel when I went to bed at 1:30 AM. I'm thinking he was so tired that he fell asleep playing in his tissue box.
That has been removed, had to tear it open to get him out. :?
I'm thinking preventative heat when we get our super cold temps, but how about him wanting to hibernate again? Is it fairly normal. Or is it only when the temp or light is not right? :?:
