First, if you just got your hamster 4 weeks ago then it should be alert once you open its cage. Hamsters are very alert animals and can hear just about anything; even though they are tiny creatures. I'm sure you didn't do anything to harm him/her unless if he/she ingested something that you used to clean the cage out with. If you adopted it from someone, then it could have just passed away from old age.
No,you see hamsters are nocturnal so that's normal my hamster does the same and hes a boy
If your hamster keeps falling on to one side there could be a varitey of things wrong with her, right know my hamster is dying, she is losing massive amounts of blood from her bottom and can't stand up, the loss of blood id making her week and she also keeps falling on her side, but she is old, shes 2, another thing that could be wrong if she is a young hamster is that she cold have something broken in her, I suggest taking her to see a vet. Well best luck to you hamster, I hope it turns out better than mine.
It's just the breed. All Hamsters need to sleep for a long time. I have a teddy bear hamster, and she is actually very active. Some hamsters though, do sleep a lot. They are nocturnal, so they sleep a lot during the day
I had this exact problem with my hamster, but mine was in a wire cage. Originally I took the wheel off at night time, so that it didn't wake me up, however after a time I realised this was pretty unfair on the hamster as hamsters are nocturnal, and so are most active at night. The hamster needs the exercise and so by taking the wheel of I was depriving it of that. In the end I decided to move the hamsters cage in the room next door and shut the door. It was much quieter, and didn't make much difference as I could always go next door to play with it. Its the best idea because then the hamster gets the exercise and you get the sleep. Everyone wins.
Hamsters will eat what ever you give it so if you give it a whole lot of food it will eat it all most likely.so if your hamster seems overweight try giving it a little less food or ask a local pet shop ( Petco,Pet Smart, etc.)Hmmm, well I have a answer to that 1. Your hamster may be storing food somewhere you can't see and so well that is kind off bad because hoarding is the name of what your hamster may be doing what I did was I took the food bowl out for a hour and put it back it if this isn't your answer then 2. Gif your hamster looks normal say not it might weight less and your hamster might be eating more to gain weight and that's completely normal ( except for the underweight part, if your hamster looks underweight then you can use a food weighter to see how much it weighs ) well I hope this helps - darkskygamerr
Normally, bedding.They can sleep on or in bedding. But they do like to burry so you could get it paper shreddings
A hamster could be lazy during the day because all hamsters are nocturnal. That means they sleep during the day but are active at night.
Twitching in your sleep can be caused by:StressTirednessEye strainCaffeineAlcoholDry eyesNutritional imbalancesAllergies
I'm sure you could, but if the hamster will actually go to the bathroom in it is questionable. In my opinion it will probably curl up in there and sleep in it. Just try it.
there is no specific time.
Yes

Sleep apnea is not caused by herpes.

hamster tumors are just the same as a humans. When you start to feel small or large bumps on a hamster you will know that its a sign and you should immediately take your hamster to the vet, and they will see what they can do, or if your hamster is in pain, they can put your hamster to sleep humanely.
First one!
