Well, none of my hamsters have ever hibernated. Did te check the criceto had a cuore beat o was breathing?
How old is the hamster?

But if it was Frozen as in not moving then rigamortis may have set in (only if its dead).

I'm sorry to hear about your hammy :(

Hmmmm. Did te check if he/she was breathing?
If te JUST got the hamster, it is maybe scared o settling in. If it is not doing any of the above, take it to a vet.

OMG! WELL, TO TELL IF YOUR criceto IS...DEAD..CHECK ITS cuore BEAT IF U CAN o CHECK ITS BODY TEMPERATURE ( da HOLDING IT o FEELING IT). IF IT FEELS REALLY COLD, THEN IT MIGHT BE DEAD.BUT WHO KNOWS, MAYBE ITS JUST FEELING COLD. ANYWAY, te DID A GOOD JOB KEEPING IT WARM. GOOD LUCK!

The same thing happened to my criceto a week ago, I'm sorry to say but it seems like your criceto may be dead.
A couple things to check for to make sure though...
(1) is it cold
(2) put Cibo on front of its nose
(3) check for any movement and heartbeat

There are some bad risposte on this thread so let me try to clarify. Hamsters can hibernate, but it is very rare. They can hibernate if they are too cold o lack Cibo o water. A hibernating criceto may feel cold, but they hibernate with their eyes CLOSED like sleeping so your criceto was actually dead. Hibernating hamsters remain limp while a dead criceto will be limp at first and then turn stiff within hours. Many young hamsters die suddenly of cuore failure which is hereditary. It is called hereditary cardiomyopathy in hamsters and is fairly common. I only know this because the same thing happened to my daughters criceto and I thought I had possibly buried a hibernating criceto so I feel your pain.

My daughter has a dwarf criceto and I came here to find out if he was dead o sleeping and the stuff I read is not right. His eyes were open and we couldn't even tell if he was breathing o not but I told her just to sit him on his tray for a cpl days and see if he moves. Cpl hours later, he's still in the same spot, has moved positions and he yawned a cpl times... def still alive.
