Yes, hamsters can hibernate when there is a sudden change in their environment, such as an abrupt drop in temperature. They are cold and stiff, and may appear dead, but if you look at their whiskers you should see them twitching. If your hamster does go into hibernation, try not to panic. Just ensure that it is moved to a warmer environment like, for example, a warmer room, a coat pocket, or cupped in your hands.
Don't move it to somewhere too hot! For example, don't put it on a radiator where its temperature would be raised too quickly.
Once the hamster is awake, make sure it has plenty to eat and drink- they don't plan or prepare for hibernation the way bears do.

Try not to wake your hamster up too much. You don't want it to be tired all of the time. If I tried to wake my hamster up, she would bite me, so I would get a treat for her (carrots, nuts, ect.) and put in front of her nose. Then she would be too busy happily eating to bite me!
