My IRN has been sleeping on and off all day. I was wondering if this was normal. I thought that they were supposed to be very active and playful during the day...but he has been sleeping more than anyhting. I got him out this morning around 9:00 and played with him for about an hour and a half. Then I put him back in his cage because I had to go to the grocery store and when I got back to get him out he didn't want to...he would've rather slept. I figured that he was just a baby and needed his rest, but then I started thinking that he might be sick. What do yall think?

They will have naps during the day but if they are lethargic and sleeping all day then I'd get checked out with the vet. My Jibby was sleeping alot last year and I was worried. But turns out there was nothing wrong. Just a lazy birdy! Naps are quite normal.

he doesn't sleep all day...he just takes about 15-20 minute naps a lot during the day...is that normal?

Short naps are normal. Like human babies need naps.

oh...okay thanks

Magellan rarely sleeps in the daytime. The tiels, cats and I are a different matter entirely

Mine all nap alot of the day. They are most active first thing in the morning just after lunch and then at dusk.

My IRN is most active after 5pm and sleepy most of the day except if i spend time with him and offer him foods. I think its because he knows when we get home from work etc.

Its just normal i think

cookie doesnt sleep during the day he has an overload of energy

Jibby still sleeps alot during the day. Yoda is a ball of energy aswell. Babies!
