Is she paddling at the glass incessantly or simply for a few seconds? Eddie is in a glas Viv and very occasionally have a quick test of the walls before going about his day, but on the converse I've seen hamsters that simply don't like being in a tank and will paddle at the glass constantly without pause as a stereotypic behaviour, this is the tank equivalent to non-stop bar chewing in may opinion.

It doesn't necessarily mean that they would be better ina barred cage either though. My original hamster when returning to keep hamsters bar chewed and paddled. She just wasn't ever going to settle unless she was running free in the wild (this didn't happen, I just did everything I could to keep her safe from herself and happy).

Can I ask the dimensions of the tank?
