I got my new hamster Sugar on Saturday. She seems happy and healthy, but I don't think she is eating much.
It is a long time since I had a hamster so I can't remember how much they eat. But she has barely touched her food bowl in that time, not even to move stuff down to her bedroom area. I have tried her with tiny bits of other food, and so far she has accepted raisins and tiny bits of carrot, but nothing else (not even nuts!).
I am not sure whether I should worry about her at this stage, or just leave her be and let her eat when she is hungry enough.
Any advice?
