Daytime bonding - 04/19/14 01:22 PM
My work schedule: 8am-12pm then (roughly) 5:00pm- 9:00pm
My glider schedule: In the mornings around 6:30 I get Avi out, feed him his morning 'treats' then let him be on me until he shows me he's sleepy (which doesn't take very long) Then I go to work for the morning. I get home in the afternoon and take him out for some daytime bonding time which entails him sleeping in my pocket or hand. Then when I'm off work at night, I feed him around 9:45 and we play.
My concern is that during that daytime bonding, he is not sleeping enough or am I interrupting his schedule? Because sometimes I will have to move him or he will wake up and see what's going on then go back to sleep. Would he benefit from just being left alone ?(i.e. I put him in my pocket and don't mess with him at all just let him sleep) It's just difficult when he sleeps in my hand because sometimes I do need two hands hahah. Some of what prompted my concern was because I would feed him (@ 9:45 pm), he would eat, be hyper for 5 or so minutes then be sleepy again and I was confused because I thought he would be awake and ready to go. However, I have read (especially because he's just a little joey) they do sometimes eat, play, sleep, repeat.
BUT I just want some input on whether or not that daytime bonding could be making him sleepy or what other gliders do during daytime bonding (like waking up etc.)
