today completes the second full day she's stayed with me and today shes made a full burrow row? idk i feel like she likes to dig and forage more than anything else! im glad to see her settling in and being more active and im hoping moving cages wont be too bad since she'll be traveling w me a good bit! i did get a a traveling case for her but we shouldnt be on the road for longer than an hour maybe an hour and a half at most!

Lovely you have started a diary for her, and it'll be good seeing her updates :-) They do like burrowing and rearranging things :-) When you say she'll be travelling with you, do you mean regularly? That isn't really recommended. They do best staying in one place in the same location/room etc. Even moving the enclosure to a different room in the house can stress them. Obviously there are times they need to travel - eg for a vet visit. And I have taken an older hamster on holiday with us before (just a 2 hour journey and set up the cage straight away at the far end). But regular travel isn't good for them. Are you having to move between places regularly?

yes! im hoping to get her a good 8" of burrowing space at least w her new enclosure im so excited! unfortunately for travel im taking her home this weekend and back near the end of july. its not ideal but the pet store i got her from had her for four months and wanted to get rid of her so i ended up spontaneously adopting her! i was hoping she'd have a week to get used to her cage and me and i got her a carrier as well! its an hour long drive one way and we wont be driving back here again until the end of july and then again once i graduate in December!

That should be fine. Hamsters usually travel well if they have their familiar bedding and the bedding is deep enough for them to burrow into. Putting a small, lightweight pet blanket or fleece blanket over the carrier can also help to make it feel private and dark. A few trips shouldn't be a problem 🥰🐾
