Answer
Dear Kat,
thank you for your question.
It is very, very rare for hamsters or other small rodents to have fleas. It's much more likely that she has got mites or a fungal infection. I recommend seeing a vet. There are anti-mite sprays sold in pet shops but they are either useless or even harmfull.
I hope I was of some help
