This is reassuring, I was about to post about something very similar! We got our first hamster yesterday, a male Syrian. He slept from when we got back and had finished poking around the cage, from about 12 to 7pm, then rocketing around, in the wheel etc. most of the night. He was up and doing stuff this morning but went off to sleep about 9am and has been sleeping ever since (it’s 7pm now).

He is 11-12 weeks. My daughter was so worried about whether he was ok she was getting quite upset. But he does poke his nose out every now and then so he seems ok, and not lethargic or anything when he is up.

Is that pretty normal then? We don’t really know what to expect! Thanks.
