Hi everyone, me again!

I've had my Syrian hamster, Ezio, for almost a week now. He's eating, drinking, sleeping, running on his wheel, digging, going to the bathroom... all of that seems completely fine and normal. However, today he's been squeaking up a storm while he's in his hide. I can't see what's going on in there, but I did manage to film a quick video recording the squeaks. I've uploaded it to Streamable so hopefully you all can view it: https://streamable.com/hgtkcj

Outside of his hide, he does also squeak occasionally, but not this intense/often. I haven't started taming/handling him yet, so I can't exactly just pick him up and look him over. But what I can see while he's outside of his hide is that he seems completely fine. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I've been a bit frightened by all the information out there regarding hamster noises, as a lot of people say that hamsters only make noise when they're afraid/in pain/angry/etc., so now I'm really worried about whether something's wrong with my little hammie.

I'm really interesting in hearing your opinions and advice! Thank you in advance!
