Hi and welcome to HC!

Two of my hamsters live mainly underground and i sometimes don't see them for days.

Their fresh food, linseeds and some of their hamster mix disappears and they run on their wheels when i'm asleep so i know that they are alive and well.

It could well be that your hamster needs more time to settle in before she wants to make contact but it could also be that she is a very independent and self contained hamster.

As long as she's eating and drinking i wouldn't worry too much.

Keep in mind that hamsters are not always asleep when we can't see them.
