Can't quite imagine his nest. Does he come out of it at all? You could maybe lift him out onto a blanket on your knee and see if he'll take water from a teaspoon.
But if he's taken to his bed, not coming out and not eating or drinking, then it's possible he is dying. And then it's a case of keeping them comfortable. The fact that he eats the salad suggests he does want to eat but is perhaps feeling too weak to do anything about it. Where does he pee normally? He must be getting up if he goes somewhere to pee.

He usually pees in his bath and he also washes himself there. (He has a bathroom with the same sand, but uses it for washing and peeing there as well). Sometimes he pees and then rolls around immediately after that.
He does come out. That's how I know how walking around with his eyes closed or half closed. We can't find available vet time. I'm starting to lose hope here, but at the same time I'm hoping he'll be fine by himself or he is already fine, just has been sleepy for couple of days. I've had these days as well. How can all the times at vets be booked? And why is nobody opened on Sundays? Even if he dies (which I hope he won't) I would have no idea what to do with his body. I was kind of thinking he'll die in two years, because my mom's friend had a dwarf and he was in a small cage, didn't have bedding, wheel and was constantly bar chewing and her dwarf hamster lived for two years.
I'm starting to lose hope. I hope he's fine or I hope he'll be fine.
