Unhappy hamster always on her wheel!


why/is it okay/normal for my hamster to literally always be on the wheel??
I only got her three days ago, but since, she has always been
on the wheel night/morning, besides that, she sleeps all day.
She only gets off the wheel to pee, sleep, drink and eat. Is this normal?
(like shes literally always on there! When I wake up and fall asleep! I'm a bit worried?
)

It's quite normal for 3 days, the wheel is probably a whole new experience for her & they can go a bit mad to begin with, she should settle down a bit soon.

Like cypher says, that's perfectly normal for a new hamster. They may settle with time, but I've even had hamsters who never truly have! As long as they're happy and healthy though, it really doesn't matter all that much
