The key to knowing if he has passed over is to look at the nail beds. Where the claws join the toe at death the blood clots here and they turn dark coloured or black.
If they are black he has died. If not then there is something seriously wrong and you need to see a vet as he must be deeply unconcious, Hibernators come back in about 30mins when warmed.
I'm sorry he has passed over x

I wasn't sure if my hamster was hibernating as she wasn't moving. I tried heat and she still isn't awake. Her nail beds are dark red but she isn't stiff. Do you think she has passed? ): I'm taking her to the vets today to see.
