A Strange Night

The night was going normally until about 7:00 p.m. At that point we were surprised to hear the wheels in the cage going and checked to see what was going on. CB and Foehn were each running in a separate wheel and Cirrus was out climbing in the cage. This was very unusual. Neither of us could remember a time when all of them where out this early. Cirrus seemed to be walking oddly, so we took her out of the cage to check her. Once she was in the office, she seemed to be getting around normally. Back in the cage, CB and Foehn seemed reluctant to go back in their pouch, Foehn in particular seemed to be rather stressed out about something. CB found his way into a different pouch, but Foehn kept "pacing" on the top of the cage.  I brought CB into the office where M had Cirrus. I could not coax Foehn into a pouch, but eventually was able to pick her up and get her into a pouch. Once in the office, she spent much of the time running in the wheel, while CB found his way into the plush boat to settle down to sleep.  Foehn eventually crawled into a pouch I offered her and seemed to be calmer. She let me pet her and was quiet until mealworm time.

We checked their sleeping pouch and cage to make sure there was nothing there that could bother them. Everything there was OK.

At this point, Cirrus is asleep in the pouch on my lap, and CB and Foehn are sleeping in the boat. In a few minutes I'll be putting them back in their cage and will probably stay up a while to see what happens.
