My hamster has been stuffing his hut the past couple days?

Question

I bought a new hamster about two weeks ago. I bought him one of those huts they sleep in and he was fine with it until two days ago, he took a good bit of his bedding and stuffed his hut all the way up, so no more could fit.... then he went and slept somewhere new. I changed his bedding (as i do every saturday) and he did it again last night. Should I buy a new hut? I have no idea why he is doing this. The hut was a darker space than where he is now sleep (one of those above the cage petting area on the critter trail) and im a bit baffled.

Update:

Youre kidding right? Im not a little tween on here ..... he has REAL bedding and slept in his hut for two weeks. I want to be sure this behavior isnt a sign of somethign wrong, like an illness.

lotion and tissues, give me a break!

You may want to try checking that he doesn't go to the bathroom in his hut. It will also help to move the hut right where he is sleeping now. Hope that helps!

Is he hiding food there? I have a house hide away I got for my Robo hamster (at Petco) and she used to sleep on the bottom floor. Now she sleeps on the top floor and fills the bottom floor with so much bedding. When I cleaned her cage I found that's where she was hiding all of her food underneath all the bedding.

But it is completely normal. If you want him to sleep in his hut try and get a cotton like bedding (they have them at pet stores) just for his nesting area. That's what I use for the place my hamster sleeps and she loves it. You can try to put some in his hut and see what he does.
