Yes it is quite normal for them to go to bed early, my Hermann's and Leo's are all flat out now, and have been for some time!

You can buy Crispy Florette mixed salad to mix with your dandies at this time of year. Small amounts of kale, rocket are fine. Do remember not to feed too much, especially with Horsfields as they would only be eating around 4 months of the year if they were in the wild.

Calm down you lot. One bit of spinach is not going to do any harm, just don't feed lots of it over a long period of time.

Then theres problems
