Hi. It’s good news if she can get out. Best thing to do is set up a bucket trap near the hole. Overnight that should do it. Google bucket trap. Basically you have a bucket. Next to it you pile books to make shallow steps so the hamster can climb the steps to the top of the bucket. On the top step you have a 12” ruler (there may be something similar you can use instead). It rests part on the top book and part over the top of the bucket. Put a smelly bit of food on the end of the ruler that is over the bucket. Put a towel in the bottom of the bucket for a soft landing. Scatter food or sunflower seeds up the steps and nearby - maybe a trail from her hole.

In the night she should climb up to get the cucumber and fall in the bucket as the ruler tips up.

Try not to worry about her eyes being closed - she is probably sleeping.
