Hi everybody. I just joined hamster central because I am so worried for my hamster. Toffi is about 8 weeks old, I got her 3 days ago. For now she has a temporary small CritterTrail cage. I will be building a large bin cage for her sometime this week. She is constantly scared of anything that goes on around her. For example; yesterday I filled her food dish and she hid under her wheel. Even if I move slightly quickly, she wakes up and looks scared. At night, she moves around and runs on her wheel. She eats a LOT and drinks water adequately. However, she makes odd noises when she takes a break or is trying to sleep. It sounds like a sneeze, but I am unsure. Since I can't pick her up yet, I can't see if she had a cold. Her ears perk up when she plays, but she makes the sound so often. I don't know what a sneeze sounds like. Could she be sick or allergic to the bedding? I don't use cedar or pine shavings.
