Is the possible to change a gliders sleep cycle? How do you do it? My glider is getting up at the earliest 1am. I think it's because I work midnights and he is used to playing when I get home from work until 9am. That will be changing soon bc I am moving to days. He also is getting a glider friend on Thursday (so excited!!)I just want him to start getting up 9 or 10 at night.

Is this possible?

Thanks :)

start taking glider out on your days off in the bonding pouch early around the time that you want for a few hours then wake them up offically ... keep it up! if you change it will not work...

my glider comes out when he knows i open the cage to put in his food. usually an hour later or so because he can't eat till it thaws a little lol. they are like men, best way to their hearts is through their stomach! lol

Do they have natural light in the room? Mine wake up at around 7pm every evening. They are in a spare bedroom and he curtains are always open.

Thanks everyone!

There is natural light (cage is in the living room). I think he is so used to me getting home around 8am and saying hello that he just waits for me to get home bc he knows it's playtime. He usually is anxiously awaiting my arrival home from work (I am a human toy for him with all my badges and stethoscopes and pockets on my uniform shirts and pants), so he loves playtime after work lol.

And when I put food in the cage (usually around 7pm) he will come out, eat a bit, and go right back to his pouch. Sometimes he will want to come out but it's just to snuggle, not to play.

But I'll be off midnights soon and be able to get him and our new baby girl (WHO WE PICK UP TOMORROW!!!) on a good schedule.

Thanks again everyone :)
