Re: Crazy hamster
Hi and welcome!
What kind of hamster is Minnie?
I have a dwarf who was crazy when i got him, throwing himself about at the slightest touch, biting, attacking etc but he's much calmer now that it has finally sunk in that he is safe and loved.
Often hamsters will settle down in time given that they have the habitat they want and need.
You say that Minnie is bolting and flipping over.
Does she have enough places to hide and take cover? This is very important for hamsters because they are shy by nature and don't like to feel exposed.
A hamster needs a bottomless house sitting on top of the substrate, tunnels and tubes to run through, hides like a coconut hut, bendy bridge etc, maybe a platform to sit under and substrate deep enough to burrow if they want to.
Is her cage in a quiet location away from cats and dogs?
