Sleep on head.

[primobellator]

I got nervous once I saw merlin curled up sleeping in a bowing position with head completely against the flat surface of the cage. I heard it's normal. He is doing well. Read and researched and found out they will sleep comfortably like that. And even hanging their head over a surface. I wasn't able to take a picture without waking him up. But the rat beliw(not Merlin) demonstrate it. View attachment 5232

Nº that's not him lol. Couldn't take a picture without waking him up. So I found one to show how it looked like.

The rat in the pic isn't Merlin.just a random rat. I couldn't take a picture so I uoaded one from Google to show what I meant.
