They can, but you're not supposed to let them. They need to eat every 2-3 hours whether they want to or not. Mine regularly slept anywhere from 8 to 13 hours at a time when he was a couple weeks old, but he'd already gained enough weight by that point that they said it was okay (truth be told, he was a fat little bugger.)
