Some people cover their cages during the day to trick their internal clock into thinking it's night, and then turn a small lamp on the cage at night so they'll sleep. Being nocturnal, hamsters really only play in the dark, when most people are trying to sleep. Fooling into thinking the days work the other way is the only solution I can think of it you don't like it's sleep pattern.

You may think he is up all day, but really hamsters wake up every hour or so to get more food, and he may run in the wheel for a while.
You could just always walk in on him when he is up. Also, hamsters can become active in the late afternoon.

that is prevalent for Hamsters to sleep in the course of the day and be up at evening, they are nocturnal. that is likewise prevalent for it to chew the metallic cage. in case you want the biting to end, (that is what I did), purchase a plastic cage. They cant chew those, because, extremely of bars, that's all plastic. yet in case you purchase a plastic cage, make confident it continually has some thing to chew on (Like somewhat of small piece of timber, and so on.) otherwise, that's tooth receives larger, and this would nicely be a severe difficulty.

hamsters are nocternal so they will sleep while your gone and be awake all night long a good way to keep this from happening it maybe leave your radio on while your at school to keep it awake and when you get home from school keep it out and play with it to keep it awake and it will sleep during the night, if you continue to do this then it will eventually adapt and stay awake on its own if not you have one lazy hamster but there's nothin wrong with that.

they're nocturnal, i think. You might want to check on that, though.
