Have you checked your hot side temps to make sure they are within the acceptable range and not to hot?
Yes I have.. Everyone else in the rack is fine too; perfectly content to sit on the warm side

I let my dad hold him the other day and after I put him back he was sleeping on the hot side for a few hours, I'll have to keep him busy. Thanks
