Sosa is being weird

Today Sosa started jumping from platform to platform. Also he ate, then I soaked him (he taught me hard on the bath) and then when I put him back he looked in his food bowl for more food! Of course I fed him more because he gave me the look. Lastly, I turned off his lights and usually he just sleeps where he is whether it's on a branch or in his hammock. But this time he got down and started scratching the glass in the corner of the tank. Any idea what's happening? The only thing I can think of is that he's shedding and it's making him restless.

And of course I check on him because I'm worried and he's sleeping like a weirdo. Lol

Sounds normal to me for a little one :) sometimes Izzy fights me on the bath too then sometimes she just flattens out and soaks it all in.. It's normal for them to fall asleep where ever they are when the lights go out :) it's pretty funny. Mine did that when little but now she goes to her hides. The glass scratching is normal too Izzy does it all the time when I have her down with me cleaning her roaches she will find a corner and scratch away I cover her and out cold she goes. So my guess is he's making a spot to sleep. as in the wild they dig a burrow to sleep in. Yes shedding can make them restless too.

Sounds normal. Make sure when you feed him, you give him at least 2 hours to digest his food before you turn the lights off.

I used to hold hef at night until he went to sleep then I tuck him in to his hide . I fold a pillowcase and put him in the fold then when he's asleep I put him in. He tried to sleep against the glass until he learned he likes his bedtime better this way. Now he tucks himself in its very adorable.

Awe how sweet! Yea I'm the same way I hold Izzy on my chest each night once she's getting sleepy until we go to bed then I put her under her cool side log for the night. I look forward to Izzy cuddle time :) And I think she likes it too as once she's on me her body goes limp :)

Dolly loves snuggling too and will just pass out on my chest until I put her back in her tank on her hammock.

Awe! Dexter and Luci hate being tucked in for bed, if I burrito them they will just crawl out. Dolly is good and will stay wrapped up.
