My cag Charlie has in the last few weeks taken to banging his toys round in the middle of the night..This is not his usual behavior at all,he is always very quiet once covered up and everything has settled down for the night.. Nothing has changed at all. I investigated the first time he done it to check all was OK ,it was. I don't check him now in case he catches on to me coming down when he bangs his toys.He is 6-7 years old now and we have never had this problem before. Any advise would be most appreciated. Sheila. |

To be honest, Ive never had this with mine.I hear mine early morning in the summer months, usually about 3.30 - 4am, but thats when dawn is breaking.
This time of the year they are usually quiet. Its 8am now and not a sound.They will start as soon as they hear me go down.Is he sleeping more during the daytime than usual. |

Could you move the bell over away from where he perches at night. I know my two tend to sleep in the exact same spots each night. Then you will know if he is knocking it or playing with it. Like the others mine are quiet at the moment until around 8 and then only start as I am up and about. |

Shiela,
Just a thought, watch the precise time he does it. He might be woken by central heating 'clunks' or something like that. I've had this problem before with preset airconditioning units. Mine lives outside his cage (I know thats not a good idea) so any little noises have me dashing out |

Thanks for the replies. I don't have the heating on at night, but I will look to see if there is any pattern to Charlie's nocturnal playing.. He is well in every way ,maybe just too well  |
