is she still active? if she isnt active and her droppings are watery and she has a dirty butt she might have wet tail... if she is showing these signs i would take her to a vet ASAP to get anibiotics for wet tail...

Yeah, it's common for new hamsters to get wet tail. Does she smell funny? Have you shown her how to use the water bottle?

You shouldn't be having to hand feed her. Are her teeth the right lenght? Give her some time, and monitor her to see if she will eat on her own. If your worried you can always have her checked out by a vet.
