My apologies for the frequent posts- I am very new to this and really appreciate all the help and info that I've gotten from experienced members here! I just had a question regarding sleep patterns.
A while ago I started noticing that Oki (my 2 year old) was going to sleep in her hide earlier and earlier in the day. Used to be round 3pm, then it became 1pm, then noon, then as early as 11am. Her lights are on a timer and come on at 6:30am, then normally it would take her half an hour to stir and come out of the hide to bask. I noticed on a couple of occasions that she was already up and out of her hide at 6:30. Came down earlier each morning to check when she was getting up...first at 6, then 5:30, then 5....each morning she was up and out walking in the dark. I'm really not sure just how early she is getting up! Is this normal behaviour? Should I adjust her daylight hours or just leave her be?
