Make sure her sleeping house isn`t too crammed or small. Ventilation and space matter. Once you manage to get a Mini Duna cage or something of a similar size, you might want to get a cardboard tea box or hankie box, remove the lid/top and turn the box upside down so that the box has no floor in it. Make a few doors in it at the front or sides. All hamsters like to dig downwards, so removing the floor of the sleeping box allows them to do this. Use ripped up plain white toilet paper as nesting. She will make a nice nest for herself and have plenty of space as well.

If the noise continues or becomes sneezy, she may require Baytril in her water from your vet if she has a respiratory problem, but most of the time these little sneezy/noisy episodes can be down to environmental factors like weather changes, stress or a combination of those.

But do look at the size of the box/house she`s using to sleep in and if it`s a small plastic one, just remove the nesting and place it into a larger tea box prepared as above. x
