[kasi]

okay, since i got my hamster today, it's been in its corner. it's awake and everything, but its just standing there. it wont let me pick it up or anything. i've picked up some of its food and gave it to it threw its cage, and it ate it but yeah its just like standing there.

any ideas on what i can do?

Well.
Maybe its the cage.
What if there's not enough air in it?
Or if its too stuffy?
What if you have too much padding stuff things.
Or, its the food ?
Or, if you have those square toy thingies for hamsters,
Try getting it in there and then while its in there,
Bring the toy thing out while its in there.
lol.

my hamster did that until i placed out some treats for it in like a little road and then it sorta walked out the corner and just followed the chocolate treat path :s
and now hes always out ....
