I have thought this myself however I have just moved mine up slightly so it is not as hot. The light going on is what makes Petey wake up so if I have it off over this good weather h would just sleep right through and miss summer ha ha. He does dig a hole to sleep in which I always thought was as he was cold but now think it is as he is too hot. Its a whole learning experience for me

Willow doesnt get up when i put his lights on but he sits in his hut
just looking out at me and with this hot weather he hasnt been coming out
until 10.30am at which time its getting seriously hot already outside.
So when i get him outside its Hot and he just hides in his hidey hole
wish hed get up at 6am when i do so i can get him outside early and he can
have a nosey about before it gets scorching..
Im realy contemplating leaving him outside during this hot spell overnight
but im just too scared something will happen to him

If you have the light on a timer switch...if you're not about, you can have it go off during peak hot hours. Have it off for a few hours then back on when its a bit cooler...if you can't get them outside that is. xx
