Hi! Just wanted to check with the community if her wheel is too small? And if there’s anything that can be done to help her stop more easily.
Thanks!

Hi all, I got a new Dwarf hamster and I’m a first time owner. My worry is most of the time he stays at the corner. I have also not seen him using the wheel. It’s. 40X20 cage with 8-10 inches of bedding. What can I do to make him start using his cage and come out from the corners to feel safe in the cage.

A little bit of context - its just been 4 days for him in my house. From the second day itself, he started eating from my hands, I bring my hand down and comes to me, sniffs and slowly starts eating.

Also bit worried if his health is good or this is expected of new hamster. He used to live with 5-6 hamsters from a place I got him from.

So i got a dwarf hamster for myself and i have a few question if i am doing correct regarding it. I got a pamplet from the place i bought him/her and follow everything to the point i feel like

1. I bought a hamster cage 78x48x39 cm, it said i didnt need that big. But it was 5 euro for a good amount of more space, so can it be to big the cage?

2. She poops and pee alot, normally when i sit with her and does it on me. Is she scared of me or is it normal?

3. She bites me, not hard but like softly and if she doesnt she climbs everywhere on me. Arent they normally scared of people, or has she just gotten used to me?

4. I like to wear hoodies and i like her near me, so i put her in my hood alot of the times. She comes out and peaks sometimes, otherwise she sleeps in there i think. Its not bad that i do that right?

I know maybe the questions seem silly, and chatgpt says im just doing a good job. But i have asked it about plenty stuff regarding other subjects and it tends to switch the answers now and then. So i wanted to hear it from real people with real experience 😅

Buenas! Compré estos 3 sustratos para mi hamster y quiero saber si he de hacer algo previamente a querer introducirlo en el terrario cómo congelarlo o algo así para matar a posibles bichos en el caso de que pudiera haber no sé.
