He is a baby. He might be scared at night so he does not sleep well and has to recuperate sleep during the day. You could play and exercise with him to get tired during evening and get him a clock that tics. The tic tac of the clock mimics the heartbeats of mom and can be soothing . Wrap the clock in a soft blanket nest to him. Good luck with Scott, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
