Just keep checking on her. If she is behaving fine then that is good. I think the symptoms of poisoning from daffodils include vomiting as well as other things, so as long as she is ok in herself then it's unlikely she's been poisoned.

It might be an idea to do a full cage clean though and replace all the substrate, nesting material and replace the hoard with new food. A bit stressful for a hammy but it's the only way you'll know it's not lurking around waiting to be nibbled.

Make sure you hide a few treats here and there to distract her from the upset of the cage clean!
