Same here. As long as they are not curling or catching on fabric he is fine.

What size did you go to? I am second guessing mine now.

The squeaking on every rotation is such a good tell. Mine stopped the moment I changed wheels.

The stopping every few seconds was the giveaway for me too. Nobody mentions that one.

Four months with no trimming sounds fine as long as the nails are not curling. Just keep checking.

Mine is the same. I check every week and only trim one nail occasionally. A good wheel does most of the work.

Mine starts about eleven and stops for a nap around one. No idea why.

A silent wheel was the only real fix for me. Worth the money in the end.

The bedding change is the likely cause. If it is only softer and he is eating, I would give it 48 hours back on the old bedding.

Silence is worth paying extra for. A squeaky wheel at 2am ruins the whole hobby.

Same thing happened to me with a pine-based bedding. Switched back and it settled within three days.

Two days after a bedding change it is usually the bedding, not illness. Give it another 48 hours and watch the water bottle level. If he keeps drinking normally I would not panic yet.

The dwarf sizing being smaller is the opposite of what everyone assumes. Good that you said it.

23:40 is impressively punctual. Mine varies by about an hour depending on when he wakes up.
