Cocoa did get a bit panicked by the whole vet appointment, mainly because I haven't managed to handle her yet and tried to pick her up with some gloves, but in the end the vet managed to coax her into a clear plastic box (same as what happened with Bonnie) and checked her over that way. She's now back home and has completely barricaded herself inside her cardboard box house lol.

Not going to disturb her much over the next few days, just so I can build up a bit more trust with her.

She did take a couple of peas from my hands yesterday and a pumpkin seed when she got home tonight.

Tiny Friends farm Bathing sand is fine, have used that for all our hamsters, I think they still sell it at P@H. If you have a branch of The Range they stock it in their Pet Dept normally.

Cocoa should love it, Ghost uses his sand Bath as his toilet..! Pip used to do the same and roll in the sand too when the pee had dried up....She was quite a madam.
