Hey guys,
Just noticed my hamster seems to be acting differently (female huskey robo ~5 months old) She's lying still in different parts of the aquarium we've housed her in. Sometimes she presses herself up against the glass. She does this when noone is around so it can't be that she's scared of something. She is usually very active at night, buy as I type this she is lying/resting against her bedding and coconut toy. It's like she's having a rest after exercising, but only noticed her acting this way since a couple of days ago.
I've been thinking it might be a temperature issue - and she's pressing herself against the glass because it's a little cooler. The best way to describe the way she is resting is that she looks like a dog lying on the floor.
I can try and take a picture the next time she does it... just wondering if (probably not explained it all that well) if anyone else thinks they've seen their hamsters behaving in a similar manner. Her cage is in my living room which is usually quite bright during the day, but the cage isn't in direct sunlight.
She is eating/drinking as normal.
Hope she's ok!
