My pair seems to be active at all hours of the day.
Last night they weren't out. Sunday night they were all over the place. They were out when i got home at midnight, still out at 2, different spot at 3, one was out at 4:30, still in the same spot at 6, at 6:20 it spotted me watching and took off for a hiding spot.

They'll stay pretty active all night from dusk till dawn. I would suspect if you just got yours the've traveled and are in a new home. They will prob hide a little more untill they get used to you and feel safe in their new home. Feed them as close to the same time as possible on feeding nights and they will learn this. Mine go directly to their fav hunting spot when I walk up and say "you guys want some crix". Are yours WC or CB, do you know. WC have a tendacy to be a little more skitterish and hide more often when someones comes around. Mine like to sit and watch me sitting here on the PC every night.
