    They are naturally nocturnal, activity during the day is a sign of stress, If you describe your set-up in better detail we may be able to pinpoint a possibility...

    When you say correct temp/humidity, can you tell us what your temps and humidity are?

    I know blacking out the sides helped a lot with the ones I had/have in tanks. Are the hides tight fitting? When they are inside them they like to be able to touch all the sides, makes them feel secure.

    Could be roaming because he's hungry, but even when mine are hungry the day before or on feeding day it's always at night. What do you mean active during the day? Like just poking his head out or actively roaming and looking for an escape route?

    If you can, try a rat fuzzie, then see if he's still roaming. Hopper mice are pretty small, only my babies get hopper mice....
