Default slight sleepiness!

Hi! I feel like I am constantly asking questions on here so sorry about that.
My hamter, basil, frequently sleeps in corners when I get him out for playtime and I will just wondering if that was normal. My other three hamsters did this but never very often and Basil just seems to do it more than the others ever did. He doesnt do it loads to the point he isnt active, because he still runs around, it just seems that when he finds a corner he nods off.
So really I am just double checking it couldnt mean something else although I am sure he is very healthy as I check him daily.

Please never feel bad for asking questions! It's all part of being a responsible ham parent

It is perfectly normal for this to happen. All my hamsters do this after being out for longer than 25 minutes or so. Generally they feel the most secure in these corners and will take a slight snooze there. You can offer other places to sleep such as a fleece snuggle sack (safe for use outside of cage), old hideouts, or simply cardboard boxes! Don't stress over it at all, best wishes

Are you taking him out during the day? If so, that would explain it.

He is most likely fine if he is showing no other signs of being unhappy or sick and is eating and drinking. Maybe he just wears himself out running around!

Oh and I ask questions all the time. I am sure the whole forum must be completely fed up with me by now

I get him out at 9pm everyday so I don't think that has got much to do with it.
Thanks for helping
