She could be 18 months to two years old if you weren’t sure of her age when you got her. It would still be an idea to rule out illness as female hamsters can get pyometra (womb infection) and if she was feeling unwell she would also behave like this. You would probably get signs of that though - blood or discharge or a foul smell or some swelling in the belly. But not always. It would be a good idea to tempt her out once a week at least for a health check - weigh her and a gentle bit of handling in case you can feel any swelling or lumps etc. Also to check her teeth (you‘s only need to do that once really - easiest way is wait till she yawns and have a look). Sometimes the bottom teeth can get too long when they get older and cause difficulty eating - but she would be losing a lot of weight if that was the case. They can also get toothache. So it wouldn’t do any harm to start supplementing her diet with some soft food which they tend to really enjoy as well. A bit of baby food or porridge (oatmeal) daily. But still put out the regular hamster mix as well - they like pouching and hoarding it even if they don’t eat much of it. Baby food needs to be without onion, garlic, spices/pepper or tomato. Age 4 months ones are usually free from most of those.
