If your hamster hides in a corner and has no movement or appetite for a long time, it may mean that he is scared, stressed, sick, or otherwise unwell. Here are some things you can do to help it:


1. Provide it with privacy and security: Your hamster may need some privacy and its own space, and it may be helpful to provide it with a secluded space that protects it.


2. Change the home environment: If you find that your hamster always hides in the same corner, try changing the layout of the cage, or adding some new toys or decorations to it to stimulate its curiosity and increase its energy.


3. Check food and water: Make sure your hamster has plenty of water and an appropriate food supply. Your hamster's water bottle and food bowl should be clean and able to meet its needs.


4. Observe behavioral changes: If you find that your hamster has been hiding in a corner for a long time, is no longer as lively and active as before, or has other obvious behavioral changes, it is recommended to take it to the veterinarian to check whether it is sick and receive treatment.


In short, a hamster hiding in a corner for an extended period of time may be a sign that it needs more attention and care. Try to provide a comfortable and safe living environment first, and pay attention to the hamster's bills. If necessary, please get prompt help from a veterinarian.
