Default Re: Scared and still hamster

It sounds as if she saw something out the corner of her eye and that made her go still. They do this as a protective behaviour to stop predators spotting them.
Females also stand very still with a glazed expression and their tail up when they are in heat. Was she doing that. They often do it when you stroke their back and can stand in the trance for ages!
