Help! Hamster behavioral
Hello!
I have a Fancy hamster, I got her about a month ago. I’m a new hamster owner and me being a very nervous person, I’m concerned about a few things and I can’t tell if this is normal behavior.
This past Sunday I cleaned her Cage as I do weekly and when I went to go put her back I did end up picking her up and she did jump from my hands and kinda landed on her bowl. At least from what I’m aware, she doesn’t seem injured. But last night I noticed she was asleep most of the night and didn’t use her wheel very much and then today she came out and started to chew and knock her wheel over. She has a plastic wheel. She is also trying to chew on the corners of her cage. She has done this before but as of now, that’s all she’s interested in doing. She has chew toys, a treat, food and water and hideout toys in her cage. Her cage is a decent sized tank, bought it as a reptile tank but used it as her cage. She’s around a month old. I’m not sure if she’s stressed or what’s happening or I’ve just over thinking. If I could get an answer ASAP, that would be awesome.
Thank you in advance!
