okay she did not have food for a day cuaee we ran out of food and now hse is not active very much and she is gaining wait


It sounds like your hamster might be experiencing some stress or discomfort due to the sudden lack of food. Hamsters have fast metabolisms, so even a short period without food can impact their energy levels. Here are a few steps you can take to help her:
First, ensure she has access to her regular hamster food as soon as possible. You might also consider offering small amounts of fresh vegetables like carrots or broccoli, but be sure to introduce these gradually to prevent any digestive upset.
Next, keep an eye on her weight. It's unusual for a hamster to gain weight quickly, especially after not eating, so make sure her diet is balanced and not too high in fats or sugars.
Also, check her environment to ensure her cage is clean, with fresh bedding and water. A comfortable setting can help reduce stress and encourage her to return to normal activity.
Observe her behavior closely over the next few days. If she continues to be less active or shows other signs of illness, it might be a good idea to consult a veterinarian.
Lastly, encourage her to stay active by providing toys or a wheel. This can help her maintain a healthy activity level.
If her condition doesn't improve or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, seeking advice from a veterinarian would be wise. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
okay she has a small cage where a wheel ant be in there is there something else to help her exercise


One option is to set up a small playpen or a safe, enclosed area where she can explore and exercise. Just make sure the space is secure and free from any hazards.
You might also consider adding tunnels or tubes to her cage. These can be made from cardboard or purchased from a pet store, and they offer a fun way for her to explore and move around. Additionally, small climbing structures or platforms can encourage her to climb and explore different levels within her cage.
Finally, you can increase her activity level by scattering her food around the cage or hiding it in small toys to encourage natural foraging behavior. These activities can help keep your hamster active and healthy, even in a smaller space.
