I think that the gap is too big, sorry. I know that you loose a lot of sleeptime that way...

Maybe you could just stretch it too eevery 3 hours? To keep them wild, just keep it to feeding them, then nothing else. No bonding to them or anything! I know that will be hard, but, if you want them to be okay in the wild, you don't want them to be attached to you.
