how old is she? as they age they play less and less. r u saying she just eats & and goes to the bathroom now and doesnt play on the wheel? u titled your question lethargic---is she? that would mean she's acting slow & sleepy---even falling over while walking. if she's lethargic there is a problem & u should see other symptoms. if shes eating & drinking fine and just not on the wheel, she's fine & not actually lethargic.
lifespan is 2-3 years if well cared for.

Hmaster's are noctournal so quite often you won't see them unless you actually wake them up. However if this is a new thing be aware that the average lifespan of a hamster is about 18 mths so she might just be getting old.
