Thank you, she is very cute,
I gave her some broccoli which she nibbled on and then has not touched, the only thing she was interested in were meal worms as she went crazy!
I went in my room last night and she was on her wheel but as soon as she saw/heard me she then ran off and wouldn't come back out... I do understand its all still new for her

So went up to my room earlier and she was on her wheel but she stopped running when I went in my room, I then went to the toilet and came back and found her grooming herself in her tube.
I tried to entice her out with the smell of meal worms she was interested but she wouldn't budge... she then fell asleep in the tube whist I was putting things away in my room...

I understand she could still be nervous as it's only been 6 days

Thank you for the link. I will have to get an order done from Rat Rations.

I have only seen the red, so may have to try the white and see if the like that too.

She looks adorable! Does she usually sleep inside the tubes? In that case, it might not be the best to have the tubes open until she's more settled in.
PS. Consider resizing the pictures to 600 pixels wide before embedding it so that it doesn't look distorted when embedding. If you use Windows, just right click on the image > Edit (or else open with… Paint)> Paint opens > You'll see the option to resize right next to select.

I agree with Razor that the tubes being closed off from the rest of her cage while she is in the process of taming may make interacting with your little one easier.

She doesn't always sleep in the tubes, she is asleep in her house at the moment, I think she just sleeps where she lands so to speak as babies do

But last night was a success she took about 4 mealworms of me and went in her ball for a run which she loved!

Do you have a playpen for her? Balls can be very dangerous for dwarf hams & really don't offer them much benefit, it's far better to either buy or make a playpen that you an fill with toys & things to explore, you can also interact with her while she's in there.

I'm going to be sorting a playpen this weekend as I should be paid today
Why can balls be dangerous for Dwarfs?

Please re-size your images @.@ it warped the website.

Balls are very very debatable, some say it's fine and some say it's dangerous.
Hamsters don't really need a Hamster Ball that much since they use their Hamster Wheel in the cage, as for dwarves I think it's dangerous due to the small line holes where the dwarf hamster's feet might get stuck.

Little dwarf hams are more easily injured banging into anything in a ball than syrians may be & also they can get their feet caught in the small gaps.
