Default Is my Hamster ill? or Hybernating??

My syrian has always been average size and very active, she is in her bowl every night and then continued to run on her spinner well into the early hours, she never normally hid her food, would just leave it in her bowl apart from the odd piece,

about a week ago we noticed her food bowl was empty the day after filling it and she looked a lot fatter.

since then she has moved all her bedding out of her house and into 1 corner, took all her food in there with her and is now only coming out 2/3 times a day for water,

she is still letting me stroke/handle her and doesnt look to be in any pain.

my mam said she had looked it up and it could be she is 'summer hybernating'??

is this a thing?? do i need to be worried i dont want to disturb her if i dont need to, she is still drinking plenty water and if i put fresh food in she is coming out for it (not right away but eventually) but is not doing anything active
