Disturbing/checking a hamster

[yasmin_the_hamster]

Hello,

I have a question about disturbing a hamster.
My hamster info:
Female, 2,5 months old, syrian, 143 grams.

5-6 in the morning is our time to play, since she wakes up at 2. I usually speak to her, ruffle the bedding and then go away for a few minutes, then she is ready to play.

I know that sometimes hamsters have days when they do not want to come out to play. How can you tell, if the hamster is sick and when she is just grumpy? I tried to lure her out in the morning, but she did not response. I ended up peaking into her nest. She was really scared that I lifted the lid of her multichamber house. How can I check her without scaring her? Should I just wait when I see that she was drinking and eating?

Thank you,
Tereza
