Hi Rothko. It does sound as though the shavings have caused this. What you need to do is get the cleaned cage and your hamster into another room and hoover, spray and fumigate as much as you can to eradicate whatever these beasties are. Try and identify them too if you can. Trap a few and look online (Google)?

Your say `Sawdust` rather than wood shavings? Did you buy the sawdust from a local wood mill or untreated? They could be lice or some sort of bug that lives in wood. Sorry I can`t be more help. x
