This is the icing on the cake for me!!!

I feel your pain. Bobby wakes up numerous times in the night to bark at nothing. I dont think that we have had a full nights rest in months. My husband is getting really frustrated. I hope you find a solution that works for you.

I do not have an xpen, I used a pack n play when I got Blaze and I allowed Autumn to go in it a few times but she (to our shock and amazement) was able to jump out of it! So I won't let her go in it because we were so concerned that she would break something and really injury herself. I don't even know if they sell covers for them.

We had a problem with Harley for a few nights and then we discovered (or at least we think) that he was cold. Could she be cold? Just a thought.

Cold is definitely not her issue. I think she just feels the need to ALWAY'S be on watch but for whatever reason it has gotten much worse at night time. If she wasn't waking up my children I wouldn't mind so much but she wakes them up several times a night and they have school the next day.

I did decide to try putting them in their crate lastnight. I covered it up and left a light on for them. It went fairly well. They slept all night until my alarm rang at 4:15 and of course they went crazy once they heard me but the first night was successful and both of my children are still sleeping and slept through the night w/out waking up!

This has been going on longer then the hamster has been with us, she does none of this during the day only at night when we are all trying to sleep.
I am not sure if I should start putting all three in their crate at night or just her for now. I know if I put just her she is going to bark and everytime she starts to bark it will set Blaze and Chance off and then they are going to start up - so then I feel like I am accomplishing nothing but at the same time I don't want to punish everyone.
I am really torn and not sure what to do!!!!

I don't feel that putting them in their own crates is a punishment. Mine all sleep in their own crates. I dont use them as a punishment...they will actually go in there on their own. I guess its all in what they get used to...good luck with your problem

I actually felt better having Chance in the crate lastnight because he is much smaller I was always so affraid that he would jump off the bed and hurt a leg or his back or neck. I never felt like I slept well w/him in my bed because of that worry.
We will see how tonight goes!

Hope that you are starting to get some rest. We keep Selah downstairs in the powder room with her crate and pee pad almost every night. Once a month or so, if we don't have to be up early, or my husband is out of town, Selah gets to stay with us. She knows its a treat, then, and really behaves. Hang in there, you can do it!
