I thought this would be best in a new topic because it is a diferent subject to my other thread!

What does it mean when a hamster high pitched screams/hisses at you? obviously shes a bit miffed but why do they go like that? I have recently had to separate my 2 girls because of a fight. Is Maisie lonely, or could she be hurt? She won't let me near her and if i put my hands in the cage.... i won't have any left! Should I leave her alone or should I clean her cage out early to make an excuse to check on her? She is still eating and drinking but is only out of her nest for a matter of minutes. I don't think she could be pregnant unless Ella isn't really a girl, but have noticed both of them getting chubby but I think its just them growing up.

She used to be fine with me, and more active but she has suddenly changed since moving into her own cage.

When my female hamster used to scream at me, it was just annoyance lol. It's their way of saying "I'm angry at the moment, leave me alone or you'll be sorry".
I'm sure she'll be fine soon
