Default Robo dwarf hammy climbing on the roof?

Hey everyone (:

I've posted some threads about my Robo dwarf, Snowy, that I adopted 4 days ago. She's still very shy and scared so I'm taking my time with her. I'm also yet to upload pics due to the photo website I use being down, but I will upload some soon!

Anyway, her cage is plastic as she is so small I didn't want to risk her squeezing out the bars, but the very top of the cage has metal bars that you open and close to get her in/out and put stuff in/out. On this metal bar I have a long fruit stick hanging for her to chew on, I noticed her climbing on it the other day and chewing as she went along but today I walked into my room and noticed her actually climbing and walking along the roof of the cage. I was really worried as I haven't yet touched her and was scared she'd fall and hurt herself. She tried getting off and was hanging by one foot then eventuay dropped. Then she ran off into her nest.

Is this normal? Is she trying to escape? Or just having abit of fun? And should I move the fruit stick incase it happens again and she gets hurt? Or will she be fine? Sorry for all the questions I'm just really worried!

Thanks a lot in advance (:
