and I changed her water this morning and dropped an ice cube in the water, she seems to have slowed down, what can this mean
she usually sits in her little house to go to sleep but she picked a spot out of her home and is kinda hard to wake her up:( when she goes to drink her water her head almost rests right in her water dish, what could be wrong?Please some one help me.

She maybe getting old and her health is slowing down or you just might have a sick hamster in your hands and you need to take it to the vet.
Remmeber...hamsters can only live up to three years. If she is old and dying remember how you gave her a great home and provided her with food and shelter. Im sure she is very grateful to you.
Good Luck I hope your hamster feels better.

First don't put ice in a small animals water it can cause a major temp. change and lead to shock. Check what kind of bedding you use, NEVER use ceder or pine they give off a toxic fume that can kill small animals, I found out the hard way. Also look up some pet web sites and search. Good luck.

She must have just been tired or shes prbably getting really old. I did the same thing to my hamster and she was fine. But if your not too sure that nothing is wrong with your hamster then take her to the vet whenever you can.

Your hamster has finally realized she is nothing but a rodent.
Donate him to a research university.
She may end up helping find a cure for some serious disease.

just a quick grammar correction - You "saw" her on her wheel, not "seen".
Okay - now for the question. Unfortunately it doesn't sound good. That is what my hamsters did just before they died. I don't think there is really anything you can do for her. Sorry...

How old is she? Hamsters only live to be about 3 years old. She might just be getting old and tired. Sorry :(
