Check the water consumption, as I believe unusual drinking can be a sign of diabetes, to which many dawrf hamsters are prone. If your hamster seems unwell and is not active, I would consider a vet visit.
Thanks! I’ll keep an eye on her, she was very active last night so maybe that’s why! But i’ll keep checking on her
