Default Sneezing or squeaking?

Now Tubby is my lazy Syrian hamster, he rarely squeaks but he does this sneeze like one instead. I'm confused about it, is it a normal squeak or a cold?

When I hold him over my face and he does it, I think I can feel saliva or mucus on me but.... Dunno.

His paws are usually cold when I catch him when outside time is over, but gets warm again, yes, my house is 5 stairs high and has wood, stone and other substances that I do not know of for flooring in China. His cage is two stairs high and four in total since I taped another one on it( you know those two floored cages with a top? I just throw away the top, get dad to buy one of those toy boxes with a plastic ladder and tape it in place so he can go up and down all he wants, he has birch shavings for beddings small seeds that I cannot name, sunflower seeds, big white round seeds, small black sunflower like seeds, sometimes small bits of peanuts, lettuce, uncooked baby carrot that was cut to small chunks for ME to eat but since I'm no veggie fan, he is more then happy to eat that orange stick, sometimes tomato and small pieces of my baked chicken.

When he is good, I give him a thin slice of cucumber ( if I can steal any from behind my mother's back) as a reward.

He is spoiled and rather chubby, likes to poop and throws it like some sort of sport.

He likes to be handled and he also likes to sleep( is that normal? Since I just decided to name him Tubby 10 minutes ago considering I just got him 2 weeks ago) he rarely gives a d*** about whats happening and can sleep through a entire night of fireworks( yes he even sleeps at night if I don't wake him up)

Is it normal for a hamster sleep through the day and sometimes through most part of the night?
