Sometimes using a long tunnel/tube leading from the hole that then leads into a shoe box for example ( make a hole in the shoe box for the tube to fit into)may be enough to allow her to walk into the tunnel and into the dark shoe box, which should have her own bedding inside from her cage and a few seeds etc...

Hamsters like their own scent, so she may come out into the tunnel and into the box and if you see or hear her, stay absolutely still until she`s inside the shoe box and then detach the tunnel from the wall to prevent her running at speed back into it.

If she`s taking the food you are leaving that`s good. Means she`s eating and still in the area. She may be thirsty, so place a piece of apple at the opposite end of the tunnel as this will tempt her out. x
