Answer
Hi Sofie

If your hamster has got a cold, then she will need to see a vet as they will need to prescribe the necessary medication.  However, I think that contacting the pet store is a good idea - can you go in there and have a chat with them?  You could see their other hamsters and check what type of bedding etc. they use.  You could also find out if any other hamsters they've got are making the same noises.  This might shed some light on why yours is still making these noises.

Hi Sofie

Having seen your response.  Some Pets at Home shops have their inhouse veterinary clinic - therefore they may be able to offer you some advice and put your mind at rest.

Hope you get on OK.
