Default Ill or just a bit weird?

Hey, me again, back at it with the health care posts (sorry!)

I changed up Mortys bedding to fitch following a whole allergy shenanigan, but now he's acting strange?

He's a lot calmer, think it's probably cause he can dig and not have all the allergy itchyness and that I've gotten him pretty tame, but I've caught him 3 times now flopped in his sand bath, eyes open, breathing fine, totally spaced out

The second I gently pet him with a finger he's up and zooming around again like nothing happened.. I'm a new owner and I'm worried! Picture attached cause I've Google and Googled but I can't find anything like it

He's a bit of a goob at best, is this just more silliness or should I be worried? Literally nothing else is wrong with him!

Sounds quite normal to me, don't think it's anything to worry about.

Looks like he is really enjoying dozing in his sand bath It sounds like an excited young hamster to me! He is enjoying his cage. Maybe a little bit stressed at the change of substrate, but enjoying it as well. It can be a bit alarming when they flop but they just wear themselves around rushing around.

Yep, Cotton is just like that. Daisy isn't but she is a lot older
Cotton regularly just flops somewhere in the cage especially after a bit of dashing about
