Thank you Serendipity! She's doing great so far. We had two good interactions today, and she's no longer upset. I added a little roller puzzle, and she's been playing with that plus the treat ball while I'm still up. I think she mostly feels safe now, and comfortable with me around.
Did some little lifts with her to get used to me doing it, and we played a little bit. I tried petting her, and it was a little too much. She gave me a polite nibble to tell me she was done, such good manners!
She did do something I haven't seen a hamster do before, a somersault off her wheel! She took a little potty break on the wheel, groomed herself, then started falling forward and just kept going. I've seen videos of hamsters flipping due to neurological issues, and hope she doesn't have any.
It's at about 1:30 into the first video, I hope it's nothing bad and she was just being goofy.
She also really liked some dried coconut slices. I totally stole that idea from you guys.
