hamster won’t run on it’s wheel
So I recently just got a dwarf hamster (I think it’s a campbell’s but the adoption center didn’t tell me) and the hamster came with a cage and toys. The wheel was wired so I bought it a 6 1/2 inch silent spinner but I’ve never seen her run on her wheel or even get on it, even when I put treats in it. I’ve also been trying to tame her but she just constantly bites me. They aren’t nips either, they’re full fledged bites that draw blood. It’s happened three times already and I just had my hand flat in its new cage (500+ sq inches) with a treat and it came up to my finger and just went in for a bite and clung on. I’m not sure what to do since I’m scared to go near her for fear of her biting me again and I want to make sure she gets all the exercise she needs but I don’t have a hamster ball since I heard they are dangerous. Any tips on how to get her to run on her wheel or how to tame her?
