    Question Now I lay me down to sleep.....twitch-jerk-flop

    Dibble and I rest together. He likes to cuddle up in the warmth of my armpit with my flannel blanket. We get cozy and then he will twitch and turn. Cozy again....almost to sleep and flop! Normal behavior? I am curious. He is on esbilac probiotic, Fox valley, Henry block (just starting to nibble). We have a close call with aspiration pneumonia, which I recognized early thanks to the squirrel board education. We started baytril asap and down to just some minor sneezing now. Never lost appetite and is playful. I don't mind his little flip-twitches...as I am in love...just wonder if they are all so squirmy at 5-6 weeks!

    Just thought you might enjoy Hami's little prayer They do twitch at that age... they dream.

    Yep, they flop and twitch and roll. Somewhere on YouTube or maybe even on here there is a short video of a tub full of baby squirrels sleeping. And twitching, flopping, rolling, shoving and crawling all over each other even though sound asleep.
