sleeping too much?

[emma_teddy]

so my male syrian seems to be sleeping more today and yesterday than he was when we first brought him home. when we brought him home on the 31st (almost 5 days ago) he was awake all afternoon then for a couple days he would sleep around 9 or 10pm then wake between 2 and 7am if i’m guessing correctly then sleep till around noon and kind of repeat this. but he’s slept a lot more the past couple days and i’m worried because it’s my first time having a hamster. i read that he might be cold so i put a fleece blanket around part of the outside of his tank to help keep the heat in. any suggestions?? thanks !

update: he came out of his cage around 8:55pm and had some water, a bit of apple and did some running on his wheel, then went back into his house less than20 mins later

Their sleep patterns do tend to change sometimes so I wouldn't worry especially as he's still quite new to his home & settling in, as long as the room is warm enough day & night & he is eating & drinking ok.
Even when the room temperature is warm enough they do sometimes sleep more when the weather is colder.
