Im 11 years old, and my hampster Is acting very wierd.She is very still, and not trying to get away from me.She does't feel tense like she usually doese.She won't go on her wheel, or her runn around ball.My friends 2 male hampsters came over the other day, one was licking her private parts, but nothing else happend.Im very scared.Can you please help me find out whats wrong?";  

Answer
hey
I sadly can't tell you what is wrong with your hamster, you need to take her to the vet to find out, but you can help by checking the signs: eyes,ears,nose,mouth,bottom, skin. also check the droppings. if they are too soft or hard there may well be a problem. Make sure shes eating and drinking, if shes not get her to the vet asap.
 If you get her to a vet quickly they will be able to help you.
 i doubt that the other hamsters would have done anything, unless they were ill themselves to pass it on.
