Sorry I don't know much about dwarf hamsters but could you get her to the vet?

Take her to a vet ASAP I hope she's ok

At 1 and a half years old she is getting a little old... this may just be the poor wee thing passing of natural causes

Try and get her to the vet asap, but if you can't, just make her warm and comfortable. See if she'll take a little water or some babyfood.

Hi guys ive just carried her into her house and made sure shes nice and warm and moved her food bowl closer to her. i called my local vets and they are closed got through to an emergency number and they just gave me advise over the phone and told me to keep an eye on her until monday, thats if she makes it, my poor baby its horrid seeing her like this i dont want to let her go

Sometimes the greatest act of love we show our hamsters can be the hardest

You're doing the right thing for her by leaving her to be peaceful, and if she does pass on to the rainbow bridge, you'll know she had a great life with you and a lovely calm end to that life!

I know thankyou, im going to leave her to rest its really hard to keep myself away from her at the moment, shes had such a lovely life i've made sure of that i knew her health would start declining soon but it still gets you like a bullet throught the heart when it happens im awfully attached to my little suebo , thankyou HorseyMandz i will let you know how she is in the morning.

Hope she will be ok. If she's not getting out to her water bottle, try offering some teeny cubes of cucumber so she has access to water that way at least.

Best wishes to you & your hammie, shiny
