Gosh, yes that does sound hard.

I just woke up in the night and went to check on him and now that I look closely, he really looks absolutely fine, if slightly baldy. I just offered him some carrot slices and he stuffed his pouches full until he looked like an articulated lorry and pottered off on his way. I know pottering isn't really a hamster thing, but Roc never ever went any faster than a moderate pottering speed even as a baby so that may just be normal.

I'll still try to get him to the vet soon just to be sure. I gave him a dish of linseeds and he has taken nearly half the dish full back to his store cupboard. He's very efficient about that kind of thing.

Thanks so much for your encouragement. I'm sure I'll be back on my feet soon and will make it to the vet.
