Halfway out of the bag, halfway awake

These little ladies have an interesting cycle. They sleep a lot. Like, really a lot. They are happy to sleep in until 11pm - midnight. We have some plant lights that turn on around 5 am so thats when they go back to bed. And all day long, they are lazy little balls of fuzz.

But when they do get going, as Erik puts it, they are ADHD hamsters on speed. They move so fast! And they want so see everything RIGHT NOW.

The part I find the most interesting, is the transition. When they first wake up, they start to shake. But this isn't fear or anxiety. Its their metabolism kicking into overdrive. It takes a bit to get going, and you see them moving around slowly, then bit more, until bam. Engines are heated, and ready to go.
