Hamsters do not hibernate, BUT they go into a hibernating state. Hamsters are not true hibernaters but they go into a state of winter numbness allowing them to hibernate. It hibernates for about four/five months of winter. Normally hamsters should not hibernate.

Why does your hamster sleep so much?

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

yes and no, I have a Chinese hamster and he is active in day time. But he/she will sleep allot in the daytime also unless trained not to. To train a hamster to sleep at night and play in the day is hard but doable just play with them for 10 minutes every 2 or 3 hours during the day then after a few days slightly increase the play time and decrease the sleep time in the day and after a few days do it again. And soon your hamster will play in day and sleep at night.
