Question New Syrian anxieties

Hi, this is my first time using the forum so I really hope this is an ok post.
I got my first hamster on Friday, and I've been really anxious about whether he's ok or not so I suppose this is a bit of a reassurance thing!

He spends most his time digging tunnels around every bit of his bedding (and trying in sand), I know he has a nest area specifically as I can hear him munching on all his food he hides down there from a specific spot daily. I also sometimes spot him on his wheel and I notice he drags his chews about into hideouts and does use them.
I've also tried scattering some safe herbs around so he can forage and making toys with pretty easily accessible treats in them that he just ignores. He even ignores my hand when I put it in the cage for him to investigate. I wonder if he's just uninterested or a bit confused because it's new so he doesn't know what to do with it. Or if he just really likes digging and that's it!!

Sorry if this is a bit scrambled! I just want to check if all this is ok.
