When Janie (my cat) got into Caramel's carrier she slept for a week straight.. Well she stayed in a little corner where there's a little plastic house. Then the next week she only came out to eat and she was very hurried, the next week she came at a normal pace but totaly ignored the wheel and everything else. The fourth week she practicly looked around nervously all the time and burried her food in that little corner, she took A LOT and carried it over there every day, then ate when she was hungry but mostly slept. In the fifth week she took her favourite toy (a boredom buster) with her after her daily walk to the food bowl and water bottle, she had all her stuff in that little hamster house, except water, so I took out an empety food bowl that was pretty deep (that's why I don't use it anymore) and filled it up with water and put it near the enterance, I also moved her litterbox to the other side of the enterance. She didn't come out as much anymore and I was scared to take her out untill she was fully used to the cage because Janie wwas always wondering around the house with Brandon (my new puppy!) this week is the seventh week and she started running on her wheel for about an hour or so a nicght and then going back for about 3 hours and then running on the wheel a bit more! I'm really worried about her!

P.S. the part of the little wooden house you can see in the picture isn't the same one as the house she's satying in now, I took the wooden one out last week and replaced it with a big plastic one ...
