2 Months Old!
Wimbley is two months old today!! Even though I have had him for two weeks (I can't believe it's only been two weeks! I'm living in an absolute time warp!) he has changed SO much. His face is definitely darkening up quite a bit. His nose has gone from pink to brown. I'll have to put some pictures next to each other for comparison but I'm sure he has gotten bigger too!
My little boy is growing up!

Sleepy Wimbley
This is a picture I took last night with my cell phone!
Wimbley is sleeping cozily on my lap. He had his eyes closed and was stretched out so serenely! I was just sitting looking at him for so long. Once in a while he would open his eyes and look back at me. I just about melted!

Bath Time!
This is Wimbley in the bath.
He doesn't really like it yet but I've watched videos of hedgehogs swimmingly merrily in the water so I'm not sure if Wimbley will learn to like it or if he is just a weirdo who hates baths.

Too Much Sleep.
I've been a little worried about Wimbley because he has been really sluggish lately.
I did some research and came to the realization that I haven't been giving him enough "dark time". Because I stay up so late every night and don't shut the light off until 3:30am, he was only getting a few hours of dark time when he would come out and run on his wheel.
So I did an experiment this weekend. I had him out to play at around 8:30pm, he was really tired and wouldn't scamper around at all, but then I put him in his cage and shut the light off. While I did work out in the living room I could hear him running on his wheel and playing with his toilet paper rolls for hours!
The next night when I got him out, he was off the wall with energy!
So his sluggishness was definitely being caused by his dark deficiency! He will only stay awake for a while when the light is on so I need to make sure he gets enough dark time so he doesn't sleep himself into a stupor.
Good to know, eh?
