    I figured. I just found it weird for the time... 3pm.

    He also has the habit of layin out for an hr from the same hide, just his head stickin out, and watchin me... same time every night, (he has me wakin up at 3:30am) and he'll go back in at 4:30... He'll even yawn for me sometimes

    Hmm.. well, he's got...3 days before feeding day... But he's gettin a hopper mouse with the two adults since he didn't seem satisfied last time...

    Hopefully that'll do it for him, and I don't gotta increase the 3rd mouse until its the right size weekly... And I can switch him to rats quicker

    Not to get you worried but keep an eye out for bubbles around the mouth. Sometimes when they have a RI they sit with their head up to breath easier. When I catch one of mine doing that a lot I take a closer look for a few days.

    My kids do that all the time. The adults seem to do it more, probably because they are used to me peering in on them. The babies are more shy! It's cute when they do that, though i tend to notice them doing it more when they're hungry!
