Hello guys,
Me and my girlfriend got our first hamster a few weeks ago, close to a month. We found a decent cage with a tunnel online, got it then went to the petshop to get a furry friend. He accommodated in a few days and he was walking around at night/late evening, drinking, eating and behaving pretty normal.
He started growing pretty quickly and for 1 or 2 days, he started being hyper active (that's what i think its happening, this is my first hamster and i don't know if this is normal or not).
I plan to go tomorrow and grab one of those storage boxes which are bigger and deeper (so i can place him more bedding, i read that 15 cm should be plenty so he can burrow).
I plan to get the cage no matter what, but i was just wondering if the behaviour is weird. He does not bite the cage.
Il post a video below with him active. Sorry for the low quality but when he sees our room lights he stops what he's doing and he burrows (the light is yellow and kinda looks like the sun).

Thank you,
