Re: Ghost Hamster Advice
Hello and welcome to HC!
Sounds like normal hamster behaviour to me and nothing spooky about that.
I've had and currently have hamsters like that. They stay underground or in their nest all day and wait till its quiet, the lights go off and the humans go to bed and then they come to life, forage, run on their wheels and go about their hamster business like hamsters would do in the wilds.
Those hamsters are friendly when they happen to come across their humans and enjoy out of cage time but everything has to happen on their terms.
I have a dwarf who is oblivious to anything and anybody outside his Hamster Heaven World and has been like that since he came to us at 2 months old. He's 19 months now. I used to worry that i'm neglecting him but i'm not. On the contrary, i'm letting him live his life the way he wants to.
I think your hamster is lucky to have a human companion who appreciates and loves him for the lovely and independent hamster that he is.
Hamsters are individuals with personalities. Some want us humans to let them out of their habitats every day, they seek us out, enjoy being stroked and fussed over and others prefer their own company but like us to be there.
