Wow he sleeps alot

newkid Feb 29, 2004 06:10 PM

Leo is asleep from 8am when I get up to 11pm or 12am when I go to bed. I was running daylight lamp from 8am to 10pm and feeding him at 7pm. Now I turn light on at 8am and off at 8pm thinking that would be better. Will he ever just come out and roam or is this not normal? He will not come out until,... I dont know when, really.. Goes to bathroom in middle of night and chomps a lil food bout it?

Let me know please.. thanks.

That's normal, there nocturnal hunters. He'll come out to eat and then go back to sleep until 9 or 10 pm.
