Answers:
It is normal, my hamsters were nervous and scared when I first introduced them to their new home, and they took awhile to come and get a drink. Yours will eventually, she will know she has to have water to survive, and as long as its in a clear place she'll come get it. Don't worry!
It is normal. It will be scared for a while and get food and water secretly. No need to worry man.
I have two teddy bear hampsters and when I first got them it took a few days for them to get used to the room and new surroundings...it perfectly normal.good luck
It's normal my hamster usually gets a long drink when he thinks im sleeping. If he continues contact your local Pet Shop they should be able to help you.
Your hamster should be fine the best way to understand a hamsters attitude is to put yourself in its situation it was just taken away his family and put in a strange place. Just make sure she has food/water and keep an eye on her mine likes to wake up around 11 pm; but if yours don't come down in a few more days you might want to contact a vet or maybe the pet store a treat usually coaxes mine to come to me , good luck!
Dont worry to much. hint your hamster to the tube with your hand if you can show her she can make it down and watch her do it. Make sure you handle her after words.
this is totally a natural cycle my hamster did this to they are just geting used to the new enviorment! my friends hamster too!
dude no worries!
she'll drink when she's thirsty.
