This is the experiment I wanted to see. Thank you for actually counting them.

Lighter colour worries me more than the softness, honestly. I would call.

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

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

Never co-house. Worth saying twice, I have seen people do it and it never ends well.

The goal being that they come to you rather than tolerate you is the whole thing. Well put.

Saving this. The point about not keeping the cage near a TV is one I had not thought about at all.

Soft droppings for the first week are pretty common from stress. Keep an eye on it but do not panic yet.
