It sounds like Buttercup is quite the energetic hamster. Some hamsters seem to have lots of energy and will spend many hours climbing, chewing, exploring their cage. Others will be lazy and sleep a lot. Hamsters are nocturnal so they are naturally more active at night. It may disrupt your sleep if you can hear him, but I am not worried about his activity level - this is normal.
