Default Re: New hamster won't stop running

Hello and welcome to HC!

How wonderful that you rescued this hamster and gave her such a good home! She must be so happy.

I wouldn't worry just yet as long as she's eating and drinking. Hamsters usually calm down after a few days once they realize that all the fabulous new stuff is theirs to keep.

She must have so much built up energy inside her from not having a wheel that she'll have to get it out of her system first.

I fostered a rescue hamster once who didn't even know what a wheel was for. He was like one of those wind up toys, unstoppable but he calmed right down once he had learned to run on a wheel.
