Stop her from wakeing me up at 6 am

[Foamy the squirrel]

How do I get Olympia to sleep until I wake up ? She wake up at 6 am n goes crazy in her cage until I acknowledge her .... What do I do ?

[Foamy the squirrel]

Oh and as soon as I start talking to her and go to her cage she starts to what I believe is purr

Have you tried covering her cage at night? I do that with my babies and they seem to sleep until 7 if I don't greet then before that. Other then that, the only other thing I can suggest is to take her cage out of your bedroom. :)

What do you do?

a: be thankful. When I have rehab squirrels in my house they are up at 5:30am......squabbling and clanking!:shakehead

b: when you figure out how to stop Foamy from waking you at 6:00am, please call my kitty CocoPuff and try your method on her, as well. I've given up.... :D

Well, before I got my babies I was a night owl... now... well I am resigned to getting up at 6 to 7 am no matter what time I go to bed. Their cage is literally next to my pillow so I can hear them sneeze, snore, grumble, squeak and squabble all night. Depending on the weather... they let me sleep late on cloudy days 7:30 and a couple times till 8!, Then they start bouncing and rattling the cage. So... I get up, go make them breakfast, kick the dog out of my room, get dressed, make the bed and cover it, put their food out and release the pounds! (babies are about a pound now, sorry my evil humor). Which it takes about 10 minutes to actually escape my room. They so want a human to play with so it is hard to get out without them jumping on me. Sadly I have other duties, so most of the day they are alone making a mess of my room. I do go in 3-4 times a day to play with them and I spend a good deal of time when them I put them up for the night.

gabby is up before the sun comes up every morning bouncing off the walls i learned to sleep through it lol sometimes i will get up and feed her and go back to sleep because that keeps her entertained until i actually wake up and then i let her out to play with me

Hiccup does the same thing. Its like clock work. Every morning 6:30 he is up rattling the bars of his cage. Me and my boyfriend are not heavy sleepers so every little noise he makes wakes us up. What sucks is that we both work second shift so we go bed around 3am and then get up with Hiccup at 6:30. Its something we deal with though, we love Hiccup and have surrendered our lives to him :) lol normally I just get up, give him food and crawl back in bed. Feeding him usually buys us another hour of sleep if we are lucky. After that we get up for the day because Hiccup wont settle for letting Mommy and Daddy get a little shut eye! lol

I've been purty lucky with my guys - so far :D What I usually do is give them a boo-ball before I go to bed (late at night) and put their HHB's and Teklad blocks in their bowls for morning.

I can hear them wake up around 8 but then they go quiet again after having their breakfast. I'm guessing having a late night snack seems to help them sleep in later and having breakfast ready calms them down :)

[CrazySquirrelLady]

Lucky if I get to sleep until 7:30 here! I got the cage covered and try to leave healthy veggies to eat when they wake up, seems to help shut them up till 7:30

yawn.......

Mine were always up at first light and thrashing everything to get attention. Drove me nuts. HAHA.

Sorry. i understand. is it possible to get up with her a few minutes and show her some attention , then give her a treat? then you go back and catch up on sleep? I dunno:thinking I was lucky enough to build a big living area,and my squirrel had fresh dirt to dig in every morning. mabye fresh twigs for her to wake up to,or something to keep her attention after she wakes. it always helped my chi chi.:)

DITTO........Same here. I was a night owl until i became a squammy. They are like having a real baby. You go by their schedule. Hammy is 2 1/2 years old and he still wakes me up at the crack of dawn. I built a cage outside my back door so now I let him out in the mornings, feed him , and then go back to take a nap. He likes it outside. I like my naps. We both win !!!!:D
