The average life span of a hamster is 2-3 years. Take it to the vet and get it put out of its misery poor thing.

If it's a girl it may be pregnant. Also if ur really that dumb i would've taken it to a vet like 2 weeks ago or w/e a couple days after u first noticed it. So since u already screwed up that chance you may wanna do that now.

well i would say he/she is'nt in great shape, umm take he/she to the vet if u can otherwise keep check on it and try to feed it liquids or soft vegetables. i know how u feel i have had some hamsters die on me but it wasnt like slowly, well i wish u the best of luck. cya

Is your hamster about five years old? I have had hamsters that at about the age of five had similar symptoms and they did die.

well it might be sick.. you could take it to the vet if you're really that worried.. and the vet can tell you if it's dieing or not but it also depends on the age... my guinea pig died at like 8 yrs. and they normally die at 5 yrs... and i think hampsters live as long as guinea pigs...

it sounds like it is very ill, or very close to dying. you should take it
to a vet and if it is suffering, then you should put it down. hope it gets better!=)

I'm afraid it's moved into old age. Make it as comfortable as you can.
