Keep the layout as similar as possible, transfer all the bedding from her old cage over, keeping it on top of any other bedding you might add, transfer her sleeping place over as intact as you possibly can and just... leave her to it. She will be stressed, it’s inevitable but she will be fine in a few days.

I know Serendipity has used the new cage as a playpen-thing for a while before the full transfer over which is a great idea for minimising stress but if she’s in a very small cage right now it might be better to get her out of it and into an adequate space ASAP. Depends what you’re working with.

Also; never apologise for asking questions. Ask why she sneezes, ask if she can smell summer, ask if she knows what day of the week it is from hearing the news on tv. No stupid questions here. Post post post.
