My hamster is always asleep

[hayleymcc]

Hi! me again. I have a dwarf hamster named Febe. I got Febe round about June, so we are pretty much bonded. She came in terrified but we are good now. But, she is quite an independent hamster compared to my others. But here’s the issue. She use to wake up around 10, and that wasn’t an issue as i’m up anyways, but now she doesn’t come out will after 1AM? I’m totally aware they are nocturnal animals, idk i just feel as though that’s really late. Obviously i can’t stay up all night, so i need to go to bed. She has the Alaska cage with chews, wheel etc in it(bare things lol) anyways, i’m not sure what to do? I know this is bad, but i’ve tried waking her by shaking her cage, a lot 😰, but no matter what she is not getting up at all? (she is alive lol, i wake up at 3am at times and hear her) Should i just let her be and when she wants to see me, she’ll make me aware/wake up earleir? i love taking her out, but at the end of the day i’m not going to wake her up and force her.
