Hamster never wakes up?

[Luna123]

So, I recently posted a topic about how my hamster never wakes up during the day. Latte had been getting up at around 10:00 pm. Now, I never see him, even if I wait until 11:00 pm. Last night, I was up until 11:00, and I hadn't seen him so I went to bed, and I got up at 1:00 am. His salad I gave him was gone, but he wasn't out. I never hear him anymore either. Do you think he's ok? I just never see him, even at night.

Hi!
I would think he's okay. Hamsters often sleep or rest a bit during the night, as they're not like us who are active all day then sleep all night. They may also burrow in the night, so you don't see them. That's at least my experience, and what I've heard!
Hamsters are also crepuscular, which means They're active during dawn and dusk, not nescessarily in the middle of the night. This doesn't really count for you because Latte isn't awake during the evening, but I still think it's very normal that he kind of varies his "schedule", and sleeps more sometimes. Maybe he also goes back to his burrow when he hears sounds, or sees you, because he is pretty new
In other words, I wouldn't say you need to worry, if he still eats etc.
Hope this helped!

That totally fine and normal! Some hamsters just aren't awake when you think they would be.
He also could be a ghost hamster, but that might take a bit more time to figure out.

Hallo, ich kann verstehen, dass du dir Sorgen machst. Dass der Salat verschwunden ist, ist erstmal ein gutes Zeichen, denn Latte scheint nachts aktiv zu sein. Manche Hamster ändern ihre Gewohnheiten und werden plötzlich viel vorsichtiger oder bewegen sich leiser, besonders wenn sie älter werden oder sich etwas im Umfeld verändert hat. Ich würde weiter beobachten, ob er normal frisst, trinkt und ob du frische Spuren im Gehege findest. Vielleicht hilft auch eine kleine Kamera, um seine Zeiten zu sehen. Manchmal ist es wie bei einem Casino: Man sieht nicht immer, was hinter den Kulissen passiert, aber man sollte trotzdem die http://pelicancasinoonline.de Zeichen beachten. Wenn er gar nicht mehr aktiv wirkt, wäre ein Tierarztbesuch sinnvoll.

Ghost hamster mode can be surprisingly convincing, especially when the food keeps disappearing. Quiet nights on their own don't mean much.
