The other point I made was that if you turn on a light for a period during teh night say 3-6 am then tehy go to bed at that time and then wake up earlier the next night. This was how we made our glider wake earlier. Now our glider tend to wake up and be ready to play any time from 8pm onwards but they know its their play time when the chinchillas get put to bed. I also have a slight problem as now Luci wants to play at 9pm while her partner Bubba doesnt wnat to play until 11pm. Last night we actually wenat along with this- boy we spoil our kids!!
: I've seen previous posts that said people were in fact able to alter their gliders sleeping pattern. I'm working on changing my little ones schedule right now because I have the same problem, and it's working. Basically, I try to get them to go to bed earlier in the morning by turning on all the lights in the bedroom when I wake up to go to work (and after I've played with them for a bit). They think it's daytime and crawl into their pouch. When I get home at night, I start getting them up around 8:00. Sometimes Rocky crawls into my sweater drawer and goes back to sleep, but usually he wakes up and starts to romp. Wink just hangs out on my shoulder and looks at the world.
: Good luck. And neither of my little ones appear to be stressed out over this.
