Most hamsters do make nests, yes, but when I first got my Alfie he also slept sprawled out in the open (he still does sometimes, I haven't had him very long). I think it might be that in his previous home, he didn't have the opportunity to make a nest, so wasn't used to doing it. Perhaps if Hamlet has spent his whole life on display in a pet shop, he didn't have much room to make a nest, so he's not used to doing that?
