Early to bed, early to rise

Puff went to sleep very early last night.I went to check on him because I was going to feed him.He was asleep so I did not wake him. He must have been so tired after his very stressful day. He woke up at 8:45 this morning, before I turned the lights on. He was out and about,watching me feed and water all the dogs. I changed the lighting so he can go through Brumation naturally. Dr. Jarchow said that when people don't let their Beardies go through the winter shut down, they can get a thyroid condition that shortens their lives. I want Puff to have a long life. He is already 4 years old so I do not want to take away any of his precious life. He ate 2 crickets and 1 worm.He refused the second worm. One of the crickets got away from me and quickly made a b-line to hide in Puff's tank.I will have to check later to see if he caught it. I hope so as I don't know how I will catch it. I also had an escapee when I cleaned the cricket cage last night.It is roaming my Fish Room.It will probably try to get a drink of water out of the fish tanks and probably fall in and drown. I can't believe that I am cleaning up after "BUGS"! I hate bugs....... But I have to keep Puff's food clean and well fed. I love him enough to do this for him.He went to sleep early again to night.Puff The Golden Dragon, to be continued..................
