Question Hamster sleeping at night?

My hamster will pretty much sleep all through the day as expected, wakes around 5/6pm, plays, eats, ect. It's now just past 9pm and she's curled up napping again? Is this normal?

My hamster always does that. I'm sure it's just because she's tired

It's totally normal, charcobain. What kind of hamster do you have? Most hamsters are crepuscular (not nocturnal) which means they're usually most active soon after sunset, and right before sunrise. Most nap for a few hours at night.

She's a Syrian! Ive only had her a couple days now too if that has anything to do with it?

She's probable still adapting to her new home and enjoying her sleep.
I wouldn't worry.

Your hamster is more than likely still settling in and adapting to their new cage, when I had my hamster snowy in November last year , we had exactly the same issue, as soon as we put her in her cage she was chewing and climbing bars, and running around for the first 2 days completely, she was awake all day and all night for 2 days until she got into a routine of sleeping in the day and waking at night.
