UPDATE ON SITUATION:

When i got home from work today I lifted Polonius' hide out and woke him up to check the bedding in his little house.

Bedding is all dry tons of little poops and found he's burrowing his pellets/treats
Still very scared to come out although i held his water bottle to him to see if he would drink water. He drank a lot of water. and came out of his bedded area for a couple of minutes then retreated back to his cozy hole.

Woke him up again a couple of hours later just to check on him and he was still cozy asleep but didn't want anything to do with him food. too scared to take food from my hand.

Is this normal behaviour?

(Also first time hammy mommy so the anxiety is FUR-REAL.)
