This is very normal. All of my hamsters have shown virtually no interest in their toys and prefer to run on their wheels. I would add that your ham is new and as he settles into his cage, may well explore more. Plus, he may be nervous about exploring with you around or simply choose to wander around when you are in bed. If you leave some food scattered about his cage, you will be able to tell where he has gone the next morning by what he has taken. I wouldn't take out the platforms. If anything, they give him something to shelter under which will make him feel more safe. And, he might use them more as he gets older. It's also important not to have many open spaces in the cage and to provide lots of hideouts for this reason. This will make him feel secure enough to venture out more. Remember, he is only a baby and also that all hamsters are different
