New owner questions

[brittanyalves]

I have no idea how these forums work. I just bought a hamster and she only runs on wheel for a couple hours then she goes to her hut. She eats and drinks normally and sleeps during day, I’m just concerned she doesn’t run enough or be active enough during day. Any advice will be helpful!

Hello

Welcome!

I started a new thread, when you have questions, it is best to make your own thread or search the forum rather than post questions on other peoples threads. That way your question is more likely to be seen.

Hamsters are meant to sleep during the day so this sounds like normal behaviour and nothing to worry about

Hello and welcome, all hamsters are different, some hamsters go on their wheels for hours, others hardly at all. Each have their own little personality. I am sure you will soon work out your hamsters behaviour patterns, and know what is normal for her.
