Re: How can I calm down hamster before vet visit
Yes if it's 3pm it's a long time, especially if you're not there to keep an eye on things. Afternoon isn't such a bad time to wake them. The reason I used to pop our Syrian in in the morning was so I didn't have to wake him a couple of hours after he'd gone to sleep for the day. Maybe just pop her in 20 minutes of so before you set off - if you scatter some food and have the house and substrate and tissue paper. She may settle better if she can forage first and have somewhere to hide/sleep. Then it isn't a double whammy - ie being taken out of the cage and then being carried somewhere.
