Congratulations on the new ham! It sounds like a match made in Heaven

. Very cute and sweet fluff!

I can't wait to here more about her

Thanks Chesca, I think I found a solution for the wheel? I have a large reptile bathing dish & turned upside down it is flat & heavy. So the wheel in on that now, will see if she'll let that be the answer to the wheel problem?

I just fed her a piece of banana & a walnut. She's made a mess of her cage. Gave her a sand dish, hoping she'd use it for a potty? Don't think that's the case, oh well. Cuddled a little & put her back. She's not used to things at all yet. I kind of feel sorry for her. I know she'll adjust hopefully soon

She got a little sandy

She is settling in now, improvement from earlier today

Still has another week or two to fully settle, just guessing. She is still getting cuddles for short amount of time.

Glad you found a fix for the wheel, just make sure she can't push it off the bowl as the base of the silent runner can slide around quite easily.
I wouldn't worry about her not peeing in the sand, it can take them a week or more to decide on a final pee spot, if she does choose a spot elsewhere trying moving the sand there.
Making a mess of the cage is all part of settling in & making her home her own, I'd just let her get on with it.
Looks very happy in the photos, she seems to be doing really well already.

Heaven is a gorgeous ham, congrats on getting her. Yummy pees in her sand and I wanted her to use it to bathe in, but nope its a pee spot so perhaps Heaven will take to peeing in her sand too.

I'm glad she's happy, she seems more comfortable every day little by little

Woke up this morning 3:15am lol & his wheel was still on the upside down bathing bath. He started to slide cause she moved it trying to escape last night I put 3 heavy books on the edges of his cage just for precaution

I hope she does eventuality use it for a potty, wherever she decides is okay. I forgot to put white Carefresh in there so I have no idea where she is peeing yet?

She is gorgeous. She looks to have a satin sheen to her fur. Very lovely.

You certainly take good care of your lovely big hamster family CB.
