Default Re: Drastic change in behaviour?

Your so kind to step in and take these dwarf hamsters in LifeWithPets. Living in peace and quiet will be a long time coming for these little hamsters and I dread to think what stress they went through being in the hands of a child. It`s no wonder wee Wednesday is aggressive! She will need an understanding (adult or older teenager) as a preferred new owner now due to this. I would have snapped her up if I had space for another cage, but I already have a male Russian dwarf and no extra space.

I do have a good friend who lives in Lanarkshire who takes in mice and hamsters as I do, but she`s not well at the moment and although she`s a member on here, she hasn`t posted for a while.

My advice would be (to your friend who has Wednesday) to feed and water her, leave her in peace and just allow her some `me` time to settle, with gentle words while she`s running about. She will probably benefit from rest now and not as much handling anyway or she may just go on the defensive.

How are they both doing? x
