After that she will go to her "bathroom" and sits there grooming away hours and hours. I bet I have very vain hamster. I'd be sitting front of her habitat waiting for her come to the door but she sure takes her time. Eventually after 10.00 o'clock lady is ready to come out to play then after about 20 min she had enough wants to go home. When I put her back in her cage she goes straight to her food and acts like she never seen food or drink in her life. Considering she was stuffing her mouth just 20 min ago sure she eats lot.
So overall I see her 20 min per day but she has big presence in my life among with my other pets and brings us lots of joy. I'm sure all these people who has hamster have normal life and sleeping pattern like wake up in the morning and goes to sleep in the night. So I don't see all the point of saying why one shouldn't have hamster if you are not wake after 10.00 o'clock evening every day.

Ooh, don't want to say anything but it sure sounds like this gorgeous girl has someone wrapped right around her little fingers, reading this made me smile!

I thought I would say (may have already been said) but because of the longer hours of sun I have found my syrian not waking up until around 9pm when he used to be up around 6pm on the dot (he's been slowly waking up later and later). So I would also assume that when autumn/winter comes around again the hammy may start gettting up a bit earlier.

I have to wake up one of my dwarfs since he really doesn't leave his nest for anything or than food or water and he seems happy enough, although I do always reward with a treat when he goes back into his cage.

likewise as some have mentioned, they are often awake in the early hours of the morning (sometimes I can hear a wheel going off from one of my robo's cages around 5/6am).
