This may sound worse than I intend it to but is there any way to encourage buns to quieten down a little at night time? I know that they're most active at dusk and dawn but sometimes our two house buns (living in our bedroom) make so much noise that they disturb my husband and I and it makes us a lil bit cranky :oops:

So is there any way to encourage the buns to be a little quieter? Maybe even encourage them to sleep?

I hope no one takes this the wrong way or anything, I love my babies to pieces but I don't want my husband to get so angry with them stopping him from sleeping that he changes his mind about having them. :?
 
Can they not live in another room?

Mine would be a nightmare near me. They are in the furthest room from the bedroom, :D
 
Not anymore lol, we've opened up the cage they were in so that the cage is built into a little unit which is also built into the bedroom lol.

When they woke us before I could just pull the cage out into the living room but now that's not really possible. :roll:
 
I once read that you can change an animal's behaviour patterns. Like if you are home all day, play with them then, to make them want to rest on a night.
Don't know if it works though. Think my lot would just stamp & grunt :lol:

Good idea jane.

When I moved candy into my bedroom, freerange, she was dreadful, she spent all of her time waking me up and when jumping on didn't work she resorted to weeing on my pillow :shock: that soon woke me up and also put paid to candys stint in my room.
 
Nope, hubby and I can't move to another room either lol.

I do try and tire them out during the day by letting them exercise and have a free run around for most of the day and sometimes it works but lately they've been pretty noisey.
 
Are they in something you can put a dark cover over? Reducing the stimuli will reduce their activity. My giant used to sleep in my room in a pen when we first got him, he leapt out of it onto me in the middle of the night, scared me half to death! lol
 
It's normally pretty dark in the room but I'll try the blanket anyway and see if that quieten's them down a little bit..no doubt they'll pull it down and make more racket tho :lol:

When we first errected the cage there were some fairly big holes in the sides because we'd just opened up the top of the grid cage to make it like the net of an open rectagle. Hubby was positive that they wouldn't get out but I wasn't so sure. Sure enough, after some scouting around Lagos (the far braver and more inquisitive of the two) figured out a way to climb the cage walls and jump out :roll: We've put a stop to that now tho lol
