Re: New Hamster and Wheel
At least she thinks it is s chew toy, and not a toilet! Yes, that's what Mushu used his wheel for at first...
It's tricky, since you only just got her, so you don't want to scare her by picking her up if she has not had much handling yet. I think putting some treats on it to tempt her on would be a good idea. Not peanut butter though - too messy and could get all over the flying saucer and her!
At first Mushu wasn't sure what to do with his new larger wheel, but after I popped him onto it he figured it out. So, you want to get Piper on somehow. However, I'd try the treat method first.
Having said that, you have only had her for two days! And you might not want to disturb her cage just yet while she settles in. Given time, I am sure she will figure it out alone.
