Awww, she's adorable! :) Give her a kiss from me :P I guess she's been shoving bedding in her tubes? xD What bedding are you using anyway, just wondering! ;)
 
What a cutie!

There seems to be a few really lovely winter whites around at the moment.

Hey.. don't mean to annoy you or anything, but the fluffy stuff (which is like cotton wool) isn't really ideal.. many hamsters have eaten it and it's got tangled up inside them, or they have got legs caught and ended up with serious injuries, or in some cases death.. just thought I'd warn you. The bedding like kitchen roll is fine though ;) Also, shredded white toilet roll is a good idea..

It's okay :) Yeah, it is a shame that she loves it so much, but hopefully she will grow to love the other stuff just as much too ;)
Here are a few links saying about what has happened with hamsters and why it isn't advised to use it (some of them are pretty old, but still)

Just goes to show, we can't trust what the pet shops label things as. :(
 
Aww she's really cute! My hamster had an external wheel on her cage and she made her bed in it (rather sleep than exercise!). We used that chopped up kitchen roll type bedding :)
