hi all. i just got my first alex baby today - the breeder told me he/she is 3 1/2 weeks old, but i think its more like 4 1/2 weeks looking at other photos. I am just wondering how much do babies sleep? i am leaving my baby Dori alone atm for awhile, just to deal with the stress of being taken away from mum, and the new surroundings. first feed went ok - 1/2 large syringe, and i will give Dori another one in a few hours. any advice would be greatly appreciated! ps breeder told me it would be a good idea to get a heat lamp for about a week. i dont have one for tonight, and my house does get quite cold during the night. i was thinking of putting the cage in the study with Dori in a box with warm bedding and a blanket over the cage, and maybe have an oil heater on low?
