He is probably hungry, wants to explore somewhere else (probably his cage is too small or he hasn't got much to do) or he needs to knaw his teeth down.
Ensure he has lots of food, that you hold him/her daily, and that you maybe give her/him somwhere to explore, like a run around the kitchen floor. < --- Just make the hamster cant get in any gaps between the cooker e.t.c as you risk in loosing your hamster behind the fridge! Also make sure you have something like a chew or something that your hamster can knaw on. This will ensure their teeth don't get too long.
Hopefully that makes sense!

You should have something though since it helps keep them warm, affords them some privacy & when they breed, they will make a little nest for the offspring. Hamsters are fun. You should get one of those ball exercisers so they can run around the house. If you know someone with a paper shredder, that's a cheap alternative to the store bought stuff.
