Answer
Hi Sammi,

 I feel this could be one of two things. She could have gotten hurt by climbing on the bars (by falling or getting her leg/s caught in the bars). Although hamsters love these type of cages, I believe they are dangerous. If she has hurt her leg/s, it will take time for her to mend. It may take up to 3-4 weeks before you see an improvement in her activity. Make sure she has food and water close to her.
 She could of also had a stroke. Although strokes are more common in older hamsters, it does sometimes happen to younger ones. There really isn't anything that can be done for this. Just rest for your hamster, she may come out of it or she may not. With her wobbling and laying down again, I am leaning more towards this.
 If your hamster stops eating or drinking, I would suggest taking her to a vet as soon as possible.
 If you have anymore questions, please write again.

Thank you for writing and best of luck!
