Hey all, I just got myself a 4 month old robo hamster a week ago and moved him into a 700 sq inch cage with a wheel, bedding, food, water and plenty of toys. When I got him, he ignored all the toys and would jump up and down on the cage wall to try and get out and I figured it was cuz he wasn't used to the cage yet. After about a week, he's still doing it- is this normal and what could it mean?

Extra information:
Also, I've been talking to it every day. I haven't been touching it at all because I wanted to give it space but I've also just been putting my hand in the cage to replace the food and to put treats in and so that it can get used to my scent etc. Whenever my hamster detects me it hides but I dont expect it to be tame yet. Was just wondering if this behavior is normal.

Any advice is appreciated
