Answer
Hi Ruth,

It is very normal for hamsters to move their bed around. It's kind of like they get tired of sleeping in the same spot. You mentioned tunnels on her cage. Word of advise, tunnels are fine and hamsters love them but make sure that the tunnels stay free of bedding. Sometimes a hamster will pack the tunnels with bedding. This could be very dangerous and even cause death from suffocation.

Thank you for your question!
