He sleeps all the time. I know they're supposed to sleep during the day, but he sleeps all night too! He looks alright. But I don't see him running on the wheel! Is this ok? He is 6 months old!

they do sleep a lot. he may just get up really late---like after midnite. he may run at 3 am when u r prob asleep. i dont know when u go to bed or get up. as long as he's eating & drinking & u see no other symptoms, he's fine. u can mark his bottle with tape & see that the water level moves to check that he's drinking.
also i saw your post about leaving him 3 wks. isnt there somewhere u could take him (friend) or at least someone that can check him every few days? if not definitely need a 2nd water bottle as something could happen to the 1st one & he would die. the pee corner ideally should be cleaned out by a neighbor at least a couple times. makes sure the temperature wont get too hot---AC at about 78.

I think hes okay, mines doesn't run in its wheel sometimes, but comes out only when he eats, especially when I first got him.
But, I think there maybe something wrong if he doesn't come out for a long time or doesn't exercise.

Let him sleep! It's the dog days of August, isn't it! Who doesn't sleep in on a Sunday?

Yes, he has a parasite that is killing him. You can take him to the vet or let him die, personally I think its cheaper to just let him die and buy a new one though.
