Default Re: Please Help! New Hamster!

Hello Everyone

Thank you all for your advise.

We have now moved fudge into the smaller cage, the shop recommended a barred cage so I went for that. Things seem to be going well. She is climbing into her ball now and I had my first stroke tonight. There hasn't been any more screeching which is good news.

Just another question, I got her out and she was in her ball and seemed to really enjoy it. Once I put her back she was walking around and letting me touch her. Once I put the top part of the cage back on she seemed to be running around really quickly and climbing to the areas which she knew she had got out of. Is this a sign of stress or maybe putting her scent back on in her cage?

Thank you

It does sound like it could be stress Unfortunately it can be hard to pinpoint what causes stress,since there are many reasons including but not limited to cage size,cage layout,and things that humans do which stress hamsters out such as a cage change which is too fast or overcleaning or even handling when a hamster isn't ready.

You could call it stress, I'd say more likely just settling in & adjusting to things, it must be quite confusing to begin with but she should soon get into a routine & settle down if you interact with her consistently.

She may have just wanted to come out of the cage again. In time she may wait be the cage door or a specific place within the cage (mine often sat on top of their house) when wanting to come out.
