Night-time digging
Hi all, we have recently took on a breeding pair. They are both in and out the box throughout the day for the last week and both sleep in it at night for the past 5 nights. My question is is it normal for them/ one of them to be digging through the night? It's happened for about the last few nights, I have heard them between 12am to 4am ish with little cheeps like they are talking. You can hear what sound like digging on the wood ( sounds like we have rats ) but in the morning there's still shavings on the floor of the box all over, they have mounted them up towards one corner. Many thanks in advance.

Re: Night-time digging
Sounds like nesting, they chew holes in wood to create a nest,
Re: Night-time digging
Whatever they are upto they have ramped it up, lots more times throughout the night. They seem to take it in turns going in during the day at times but haven't heard them scratching then. Can't see any chewing, they are just kicking the shavings about. Definitely putting a camera in next year
