Jas, the hamster formally known as Jasper

We just let Jas out and she snuggled into my OH and then stopped for a wash, I think we might be making progress, that's a sign that she is getting comfortable, isn't it?
 
I thought you might like a Jas update.
So, my OH is away at the moment and I think Jas knows. On the day, she came out in the morning, she never does that, stopped for stroke and went back to bed.
Since then she's been a little quieter, so far anyway. In the playpen she is coming up to my hand, sniffing it and then going under it. She is also stopping for a lot of strokes. Don't know if she knows she is helping me, but it is 😊
 
It was strange when she came out in the morning, my OH said goodbye to the cage and 30 seconds later, she was out. My OH even said to me, did you open the cage and wake her? She was very sweet at that time as well, as we don't usually see it, big Hammy stretches
 
Jas was very good today. I needed to do a bit of a clean, I've been trying to do a little every couple of days, but it's not easy to get everywhere. I made up her previous cage, but it was only for about twenty mins and I did put some of her substrate in, so it wasn't all new. I had to put her Trixie wheel in, as it's the only other one I have big enough, but it doesn't work very well in there, but she did try. She was so good, did some exploring, checked out her cardboard house, had a sandbath. I think she was happy to get back to her home though, even though she did seem a bit confused. I was worried about putting her in there as I know she wasn't happy there, but I think she was okay. It wasn't for long. If she gets up again, I'll give her more playtime and then straight back to her house, so she knows it is only a temp thing.
 
I'm sure you would all agree, I worry a lot and I was thinking about it for a while. Usually my OH just watches her, but that's not possible at the moment and she really doesn't like the travel container, so I thought it might be a good idea. I'm really pleased it didn't stress her out ☺️
