First time he fell asleep in my hand. Six weeks of sitting next to the cage with my hand inside doing nothing at all. Tonight he walked on, groomed himself and went to sleep. I did not move for twenty minutes.

The fact you did nothing for six weeks is the lesson. Everyone wants to rush it.

The not moving for twenty minutes part. I know that feeling exactly.

Mochi's first sand bath

Put the dish in and she immediately rolled in it for a solid five minutes, then sat in it looking extremely pleased with herself.

Sand baths are apparently the best thing that has ever happened to her.

How often do you leave the dish in? Mine gets it twice a week and still goes straight for it.

She looks so pleased with herself, that expression is the whole reason we keep them.

What sand are you using? I switched to a finer one and mine stopped sneezing after.

Wet tail or just stress? Worried.

Picked up my new hamster three days ago and today the droppings are soft and he is a bit hunched.

No tail wetness that I can see, and he is still eating. Is this normal settling-in or should I call the vet tomorrow morning?

Is there any wetness around the tail at all? That is the one thing that turns it into an emergency for me.

If he is still hunched in the morning I would call. Settling-in stool clears up on its own, a hunched hamster usually does not.

Soft droppings in the first week are usually stress, but the hunched posture is the part I would not ignore.
