Re: My hamster sleeps all the time and never really comes out to play even at night
I too have a syrian who seems to spend a lot of his time sleeping. I've had him about 6 months now and he is still very nervous at times - though he has days where he is totally the opposite, but they are rare! - he isn't keen on humans, though happily takes treats from me, and doesn't want to come out very often, plus like yours if he is out and I go to the cage he will sometimes just look at me and then go back to his house, though this is getting less. I also used to have the sweetest dwarf who was very friendly but when I got him out all he wanted to do was sleep!! I think different hamsters have different personalities that make them outgoing or shy. So it could be it's not age related if he seems fine in himself and you just have a hamster that likes to slee and is set in his ways as has been said. Best of luck with him though.
