I can't imagine how that might feel, I think mine is going into it as well, he has been sleeping alot. When I get home and take him out the cage, he climbs right under my neck and goes to sleep. I think that it is amazing how much affection they give and that they don't mind cuddling. I'm scared though, never been through it. I dont know what to expect. I read up on it alot and watch videos. I know I will miss him also. I hope if he does it's quick ?
