I'm up late (because I fell to sleep on the setee at about 8.30 while sulking about being too poor to buy BE's BRB, then couldn't sleep at real bed time) and I handled Evra.

I found she was a lot more active when I handled her tonight than she normally is when I handle her in the evening. Anyone else found that?

I don't tend to handle any of mine much before 21:00 after the kids are in bed, the house is straightened and everything's quiet. But if I ever come in at a silly time after a night out they all seem to be a lot more active in their vivs.

Circadian Rhythm, a.k.a. body clock. They will be far more active/energetic in the night because that is what they are "programmed" to do. I usually handle Sherman after about 10pm because he / she seems to be more eager to explore and come out of the viv.

I tend to handle mine when they are active in their viv and then I find they are active out of their viv to.....they usually start to come alive around 6pm or so.
