And, you may want to use a cup or other suitable container to transport her from her cage to the play bin.

As for leaping in the play bin, this is probably because she is young and active. Make sure she can’t leap/fall too far to prevent injuries.
PAH also told me my dwarf was a girl but he's a boy and my Syrian was a boy but she's a girl. I don't take what they say literally.
As long as it's normal that's all I wanted to know. But when I say leaping up the walls of the play bin I mean scrambling to get out and leaping not leaping off things.
She's actually really tame already apart from the leaping.
