My baby Egon was waking me up a couple days in a row... now from all the noise he makes in the middle of the night, but from the smell of him running on his "dirty" wheel. He seems to poop on his wheel a lot while running on it and I had to start cleaning it daily. I started to take his wheel out every night before I went to bed and I would hear him trying to climb the cage to reach it (The wheel being on the top of the cage but outside of the cage). After two nights of this I figured I would give it back. I woke up to find he had not made a mess of his wheel. I left it in another night and it was clean again! I think by removing the wheel he realized he could not use it as a bathroom and if he did he would lose it temporarily.
He is very smart. He is 8 weeks old and seems to be a fast learner. I would suggest if you have this problem to try this out. It works!
