Hi, my hamster Aster is a Russian dwarf of unknown age as she's adopted but is estimated to be 8months-a bit over a year. today and last night she has been acting strange and has been lying down completely flat in her sand bath which is something she has never done before.

I'm wondering if it could be a way to cope with the heatwave we have in the Uk at the moment but I am also worried she could be unwell. I have a cold plate in for her but she doesn't seem interested in lying on it, should i be worried or just try to keep her cool and does anyone have any other good methods of keeping her cool? thanks.
