Sleeping (not about how long...)

[matt9]

I have a few questions about hedgehogs and sleeping. I know they sleep during the day, and that babies sleep alot. (sorry if these have been addressed some where...I searched it and didn't find it in here)

My questions is, in what position do they 'normally' (if there is such a thing as normal when refering to hedgies) sleep in. Tonight, I got freaked out, I'm sitting here on my computer with Kiya on my stomach, and all of a sudden, she starts rolling down me. It kinda freaked me out because I feard she'd slipped into Hibernation.But now she is sleeping on my stomach again, laying as flat as a hedgie can.


And then, my other question is has anyone ever had any long term negative effects of waking a sleeping Hedgie up out of his/her bed? I got Kiya on friday, and people are curious, and have come over to see her. (all of which, by the way, have agreed she's cute :D (...I'm a proud father....)) But today I woke her up three times out side of my normal time, and I had to take her out of her home. (An Igloo with a vulux (sp?) blanket) Could doing this too often make her feel as though her home isn't safe?

Alina will sleep in her hedgiebag until she is disturbed. (That usually happens in the morning and evening when I check to make sure she's doing okay.) After that, she runs and hides in a corner behind her wheel and doesn't go back to her bag for quite some time. I can only assume its because she knows I can't reach her easily back there. She hasn't ever abandoned her hedgiebag in favor of sleeping somewhere else, however. Apart from putting a bit of stress on Kiya, she should be fine.

I've also noticed Alina gets up later than usual if I've woken her up during the day. Since I can't see her very well in her bag, I can't give any input on sleeping position.

Hedgies actually are more active early morning and late evening. They sleep a lot and babies sleep even more. Odo and Marco both sleep with their heads turned to the side and kinda tucked in under them.
I get them both out during the day all the time and don't see anything wrong with it. I allow plenty of sleep time though, I only get them up for a short period. When I put them back, they are back asleep before I leave the room.
