So I have had my 3 boys for 2 weeks as of today. I have noticed that they tend to prefer to sleep on the shelves vs in any of the hanging items I have for them. Occasionally I will find them in a basket or hammock, but for the most part, they sleep in an alligator sleep sack for ferrets, or in the front corner of the cage (facing the couch in the living room), without being covered in anything.

My girls forever ago adored hammocks and hiding but these guys are sooo different.

They are in a DCN with plenty of places for them to go, and almost all of them are big enough for them to all sleep in together if they wished.

Is this abnormal behavior?

Here is the cage (which I know is messy LOL. But I don't clean it while they are sleeping. )
