Hi! I’ve had my hamster at my house for just over 2 months now. She seemed shy at first but eventually let us stroke her and after a few weeks she started to climb onto our palms to eat a treat. She never has and still won’t let us pick her up, I got close once where she met me cup her body kind of until I moved and then she stepped out but didn’t seemed spooked. This last week and a half she has started to chew her cages in the corners, I found a little bit of blood in her wheel and tube & after cleaning it a week ago I’ve seen nothing since. I have googled and some say teething and some say she wants to escape & everytime I put my hand on recently she runs at me & im convinced she is benign territorial, I don’t know what to do, I let her out in her ball most days for no longer then like 15 minutes so I’m just really lost now. Tonight she has started biting her tube which I haven’t noticed her do yet.
