Definitely. My biggest problem is snacking late at night. Normally,
that would be no problem but lately with the every few hour ferret
maintenence during the night, it's hard to resist. She wakes me up
from a sound sleep and needs something. That wakes me up then I find
it hard not to resist a little snack once I get her all taken care
of. oh well.
