Hi so I just brought home Penny one week ago from a breeder. She is 8 weeks old. I am using same bedding, food, and water bottle they use. The first 2 days Penny was fine and very social. Sunday I bought her a hamster ball to play in and she hated it and has be nervous ever since. Monday night I noticed green slimy poop. She also is pooping normal. She is still eating and drinking. She will come out of her cage but she no longer wants to explore. She shakes and is obviously very nervous. Still having some green poop. My house temperature is set at 75 degrees F. Any advice

You need to get a thermometer to check the temperature in her cage. Often even if the heat is set at 75* in a house it can actually be a few degrees colder in the cage due to its location etc. Shaking is not a normal thing for her to be doing. Does her tummy feel cold or warm when you hold her?

She didn't feel cold. The back of her was shaking like she was scared. I figured with the green poop it was nerves. I live in Texas and didn't think I'd have to worry about hibernation just yet
