Lazy or depressed hamster?? plz help?

Question

I just bought my hamster a month ago and now I'm never bored because I love watching him do his thing, the first week the hamster woke up at 6pm and ran and stayed awake sitting in his cage. For some reason, after that week he sleeps until 11pm, gets up to eat and drink sleeps under his wheel instead of hut until like 3 am, gets up and runs until about 6 am, which is when he sleeps again. Is there a problem or should I just not be worried at all??

Answer 1

they are not like humans they sleep in the day and eat and play in their wheel at night and my hamster loves his wheel and he also sleeps on the wheel but he carrys some or the wood shavings in his cheeks ands drops it on the wheel so it can be comfortable nah dont be worried he/she is fine

Answer 2

get him out of the house and take him for a walk in his ball...

Answer 3

He's just being a normal hamster. My hamsters change up their schedules, too.

Answer 4

actually they sleep during day and start their day during night. well it probably just need to familiar itself during the first week, also they do change their schedule sometime. and they do sleep on or under the wheel: most of the time they sleep any where in the cage even in the sand box ( my old hamster even sleep beside its water bottle when he finished drinking ). if you want to get it some exercise you can buy this hamster ball, so it can have a free run in your room and you don't need to worry to lose it ( well for my old hamster he just sleep in the ball when he can't roll the ball over some wires XD )

well as long as it's eating and drinking there is nothing to worry about.
