Try COD LIVER OIL on a hard piece of bread. it smells horrible, but it is the only thing I found that ever worked. You might want to stop feeding her all of what you mentioned, and go to a good pet store and try one of the better bulk foods that they sell hamsters. It may be malnourished. Of course make she it always has plenty of clean water. Ask the pet store if they recommend you putting vitamins in her water. Do lettuce, and carrots after she gets better, and in very limited amounts. I hope that works for you!

OMGSH! poor hamster!! I hope it doesnt have "wet tail" if you notice a yellowish substance around her eyes and butt i would be very concerned!! Take him to a vet! They can usually die from it within a day!! I wouldnt go to just one vet. go to a few. But call first and ask them if they work with hamsters.
As for cheerios and such you shouldnt feed them that every day. once a week at the most (that goes for the lettuce too...too much can cause diareah...eww. It should be less then 10% of their diet)
Peanuts? unsalted i hope? Not the ones we eat..i also hope.
Try giving your hammie something else besides just lettace too mine loves apples. Also oats (like the plain kind that you put in oat meal) are good for them high in fiber. Uncooked of course!
I will pray for your hammie!!
keep me posted

She's probably sick. Try feeding her with some avocadoes, bean sprouts & toufu. STRICTLY NO CHEERIOS. Lettuces are not a gd idea too. Throw in some shredded tissue so that she can build herself a nest to keep warm. Hope she gets well soon!

take her to the vet, ones that will treat small animals...im not sure if cheerios and lettuce are good oft hamsters. i just feed mine hamster food. but she might be sick and if you find a vet they might be able to save you hamster.. good luck.

her diet may be the problem, a hamster would not eat cheerios and peanuts in the wild. give her high fiber food, if she is constipated this will help.

ok, properly, sunflower seeds make hamsters fat or ill in the adventure that they have got too a lot, so make efficient he eats extra that only sunflower seeds. purchase him the foodstuff mix and make efficient he eats all of it. if he only options out the sunflower seeds, provide him extra foodstuff, yet %. out the sunflower seeds. now, he could be exausted from operating on the wheel. attempt taking the wheel out. he's also getting drained of the sunflower seeds, which may be why he isnt ingesting. i wish he's okay. i could attempt calling a vet and observe if he/she has any advice for you in the previous easily rushing him to a vet. if the vet says they'd opt for to seem at him, then convey him to the vet.
