Default Is this normal? Moving his nest around..

Is it normal for dwarf hamsters to move around their nesting quarters?
Pikachu has moved around twice in the last three weeks! He used to sleep on the floor in a corner, then he decided to start sleeping in his "floating house" (he;s in a bernie deluxe) which he did for a couple of weeks and now he's back on the ground and has bunged a load of Carefresh and dragged nesting material underneath his wooden log bridge thing and is now nesting under there!!

He seems alert, healthy and is eating/drinking normally, no signs of illness and coat is normal and he is definitely keeping up with his cleaning routine.

I've not really changed things round in his cage for a while, only thing I have changed is that he's on Carefresh rather than woodshavings.

Should I be worried?
