A lot of hamsters do that when they first get moved to a tube cage, Matty - all my original 3 did it.....then they started stuffing the tubes with bedding

They all seem to grow out of it once they settle in a bit.

Tubes are very much like burrows - and thus considered "safe" by little hamster brains.

That's why I provide my Robo, Dave with so many - as a very timid little hamster, she's got plenty of opportunity to duck out of what she doesn't like.

Harry, our rescue, currently sleeps in his tube - it's where he can't be got at.

As they become more comfortable, they'll move out of that - it's just a matter of time
