Question
my hamster sleeps too much she is 1 month old and we just got her. shre is very shy and i think that leads her to be afraid and she is probaly hoding by sleeping, but i want a hamster experts opinion. thanks

Answer
Well, she's still a young baby so she's still going to sleep all dayand only be active at night. Is she eating and drinking normally otherwise? If so she is just fine, just shy and hrowing still. It would be a good idea to give her some hamster vitamin drops in her water for more energy and nutrition.
