: Hello Again-

: I am officially a junkie....I've been on the web all day looking up info. Bourbon's page was very well done. All were informative. I feel like an expert and I don't even have one.

: My latest concerns:

: 1. is about the nocturnal nature of the SG.
: Some people state that they let the SG's roam in the bedroom while they (the owners) are sleeping. Does this make for a good nite's rest?

I just can't sleep if they are running around. I'm too worried that I'll roll over onto them and they can make a lot of noise.Rocky loves to run up and down my body and attack my feet if I move them (like a cat will do). And they love the blinds in my bedroom, which can get very loud.

: 2. My live in Boyfriend goes to bed at 9:30pm and gets up at 5:00 am. I'm usually in bed by 11pm. 2What kind of changes have you guys made with regards to the night time rituals?

I try to get to bed by 11p.m. too. Some nights they wake up earlier than others. If they haven't gotten up by 10p.m., then I just wake up earlier in the morning to play with them. As long as Rocky has some time to cruise around my room and Wink gets to crawl on me for awhile, they are both happy.

: 3.Would it be a nuisance to have the SG cage in our bedroom? (Barking, etc.?)

Ear plugs are always an option. I have to keep my babies in my bedroom for heater purposes (it gets cold, and the living room heater isn't all that great). Rocky barks a lot, but if I just talk to him for a bit, he'll usually stop. That or a pillow over my ears! And some people have said that having a night light or some sort of light on nearby has reduced the barking. Good luck!
: Your help and advice is appreciated.
