I've had my new hamster, Orange, for just about a month. My last hamster, Chewch, died suddenly from something neurological before he was even a year old. So, everything is making me paranoid.

Starting on Saturday, my hamster knocks her wheel over. Then she burrows underneath and uses it as her house. She stores her food there, her chews there, and sleeps there.

I know it's important for hamsters to run on the wheel as it burns excess energy. Should I be worried that she has -100% interest in running? Does anyone else have a hamster that doesn't run on the wheel?
