new hamster acting strange
I just adopted my new female syrian hamster Rosemary 4 days ago from a local pet store that take very good care of their animals. The lady told me that this hamster was the sweetest syrian they had ever had. She is a little bit older than most hamsters at adoption age as she was separated from the other hamsters. Brought her home and she seemed normal for a fist day (exploring, eating ect.) But the second night she didn't come out of her borrow that I saw and I normally go to bed at around 11 so pretty late. I noticed the next day that the cage was messy so I knew she had been awake. The next night I did some bonding with her just giving her treats ect, she just left after 5 minutes to go back to sleep and I didn't see her again. Then last night I noticed her in her sand bath and she was grooming herself and I left for about 30mins and she was still in the same spot after that long but she was sleeping. then she finally got up and went in a hideout and slept and I didn't see her again. i noticed she drank water and dug in her dig box but I have a very loud wheel and dint hear her at all and haven't seen her run one time since she's been here. she also moves VERY slow and doesn't seem at all energetic when i've seen her. Am I just paranoid because none of my previous hamsters have been like this and I am concerned.
