Still can’t get Peanut interested in coming out of her cage. She’s got a huge bug up her butt. If she knows we’re awake, she doesn’t come out at all. She waits until we’re upstairs sleeping, then we hear her wheel going. Seeing as how we didn’t go to bed until 1 am last night, and she’s awake by 9 pm at the latest, I’m taking that personally. I just now tried to get her to come out by showing her the elevator which she would always climb into so I could lift her out, and she looked it over and then ran back into her den. I’m going to check her cage to make sure she’s not sick and I’m thinking about getting rid of the den temporarily. I don’t know, maybe that’s mean, but I’d like to get a removable den (this one is snapped into the cage and supports the wheel too) and wheel so I can control how much she hides from us. I don’t want to just give up and accept that I’m there to feed her and clean her cage and that’s it. That doesn’t seem like any fun for either one of us, so somehow I am going to get her out of her antisocial mood. One thing I read was to give treats outside the cage, so I’m only going to give them to her when she is out playing to encourage her to come out and play. We’ll see how that goes. It’s just so weird how she changed. I never had her out of her cage so long she’d become exhausted, so I’m not sure why she stopped enjoying it. Hamsters are weird. I can’t wait to get a cat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
