She got her wheel going last night. Is it ok to let her have it all the time or should I only let her use it for short periods as she is young.

I'm also looking to get a bigger one. Anyone have any recommendations?

It would need to fit into a Barney cage, as she may move into there at some point.

More food taken from me today and she gets on my hand quite often. Flax seeds were quickly eaten. She nibbles a little bit, but not hard, so nothing to worry about. She was a bit jumpy/concerned by being stroked so I only tried a couple of times.

She had her 1st weigh in today Willow is 20 grams. If I done it right.

I used a container to weight her in. After the weigh in I sat on my bed and let her climb out onto my hand. She was calm and walked between my hands and on my legs. I didn't hold her long before returning her to her tank.

She went back to bed after checking round her tank.

I also put a toilet paper tube leading into her original nest as a tunnel. I think she approved as she has gone in for a nap.

Congrats CMB on Willow who's very beautiful, I did laugh at the videos especially the wheel. She's definitely settled in.

Thank you. She sometimes runs too fast and flips over. Hope she doesn't hurt herself. I knew she was the one once I saw her. My sister suggested the name and I liked it right away. I had a male name chosen butt not a female name.

She had a little bit of porridge this morning. Don't know if she ate any though. I will take what is left away in a little while.

20g! she's still so tiny
She looks really full of beans & seems to be settling in really well.
They often flip out of the wheel at first but soon get the hang of it, it's both funny & scary to watch but I've never had a ham hurt themselves doing that, just make sure she has a soft landing!

Congrats on Willow!!

I'm glad she is settling in well, she sounds pretty confident and social.

20 grs!! I can't imagine how tiny she must be. She looks really cute exploring and running in her wheel. She is really fast! I can't suggest anything about the new wheel, as I don't have the barney, but I suppose that a 20 cm wheel could fit without too many problems (but it's better that you get a confirmation about that).

I thought Willow was a male's name (because of the film)

Thank you.

I changed her wheel to the pets at home version of the silent spinner. She hasn't tried it yet.

They told me she is 8 - 12 weeks old.

I think there are bigger sizes if the same wheel, just in case she grows too big.

Her porridge wasn't eaten, but I will try making her some another day.

Just as I was about to go out this morning she came out to see me. I put my hand in and she jumped on. I let her walk from hand to hand a bit whilst keeping her in her tank. Just in case.
