I’m a new hamster owner. I know they are nocturnal by the way. So we got her about 24 hours ago….when we first place her in, she ate, ran on her wheel, explored her place and then made a nest and then slept. She rested all day and until midnight. When I woke up the only difference on her cage was a couple of pieces of poop but she is resting still. Is there something wrong with my hamster?

Hi Flor. Your hamster is completely fine. As an owner and raiser of numerous hamsters too I had this issue with my first hamster. For 1st day she is simply getting used to her new home furthermore hamsters rest a lot, like us, people you never know how long they’re going to rest. If you still think there’s something wrong with your hamster after a week, take her to the vet. Good luck.
