Default Re: Absolute Wheel Lover

She's probably just a very energetic hammy and wants to get all her energy out!

Have you ever considered a playpen for her? You can sit in it whilst she can run around and climb on you or check you out and bond that way. Make sure you do include the wheel though, but since it'll be a new environment she may be focused and more intrigued in exploring other than running on her wheel. If she still doesn't stop though, you can take the wheel out for about 5 minutes every 15-20 minutes to see if she can explore everything else.

If you don't have a playpen you can use a hamster safe room (make sure she can't get hurt or escape through cracks or gaps (like in the wall or lifted up carpet with floorboard exposed or even under the door). Or, you could try the bath method and sit in the bath with them in it too. Just make sure if they climb up your front or back that they don't fall or make some sort of acrobatics flip and land outside of the bath or the edging of it and dart for 'freedom'.
