Default New hamster falling asleep while held?

Okay so tomorrow marks one week since Poppy arrived, she’s a Russian dwarf. From day one she wanted to climb in my hands, even without a treat, it was too much too early IMO so I didn’t keep her out of the cage for more than a couple minutes. I’m slowly letting her stay out more, always making sure she’s not showing signs of stress. So yesterday at around 7pm Poppy played and ate a few seeds while out with me then suddenly stopped and using my pinky as a pillow she fell asleep in my legs. I freaked out thinking maybe she was sick or something but she returned to her nightly activities until morning and got up for her afternoon snack. All normal. So should I be worried or just appreciate the cuteness? So far she has been very friendly but also very active and curious while out.

Consider yourself lucky to have a hamster who comes to you and is so relaxed to even fall asleep on you. Enjoy!

Yay! It’s funny because from the moment I first saw her I knew she had to be mine, took me a few days to gather her stuff and she was still there (such a surprise because everything non standard grey gets sold so quickly here) today she cuddled up for a few minutes right after emptying a bit her pouch. It’s nice to know she likes me just as much as I like her
