Hi. A hamster that seems to be unsteady or weak isn`t a good sign, but what`s important is that she gets complete peace and quiet to rest and also, a decision today on whether these signs are tiredness or illness. She`s still young and could be susceptible to illness, so depending on how she`s been since you got her from Pets At Home, her behaviour will have settled somewhat, but a lot depends on what you have been doing with her or have you just left her alone a lot to settle in?

Watch her today and decide if she`s eating okay, drinking and look at her diet and what she`s been eating, or not eating. What are you feeding her on and does she have any raw veggies and if so, how much? Are her poos okay and formed normally?

Edited to add: Noticed you posted two days ago regarding a worry over diahhorrea? (can`t spell that word!) But you were not sure? If your hamster is a Syrian, she could be susceptible to wet tail, so if her poo is solid and normal, it won`t be that.
