hi, so today i noticed my hamster was partially buried under his bedding, not moving and very cold, hes not dead, however, as hes still breathing/moving his nose, and occasionally walking

i held him under my shirt for about an hour and gave him warm milk and he responded to both, his breathing becoming less slowed and more even and he swallowed the milk just fine.

his body is a little warmer now, however, its still cold and limp.

my question is, how long do i need to hold him for? right now, i put him back in a freshly cleaned cage with extra food and clean water, ive held him for about 2 hours now and i only put him back because he began breathing better

does anyone have any advice for getting a hamster our of torpor?
