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!

How do you tell if your hamster is dead or of it is hibernating?
Don't worry if you think your hamster is dead, many have confused death with hibernation. You can tell if the hamster is hibernating when: 1. Its body temperature had dropped (Its cold) 2. Its rigid and stiff looking 3. Very slightly the whiskers on the hamster will move. The hamster will still have to breathe in its hibernation state. This happens because the hamster goes through a winter numbness. Hamsters like temperatures around 65 F - 72 F (18-22 C). So don't let the temperature in your house drop 15F (13C). To wake the hamster from its hibernation try turning the heat up to a little warmer. Then pick the hamster up gently and thaw him/her out with your hands. To prevent hibernation try putting more wood shavings, so the hamster can borrow deep and stay warmer. Hamsters a very senseitive to the light so make sure when putting your hamster in a cage put it away from drafts and sunlight. (They also do not like loud noises). To thaw it out try stroking it gentley with your hand. Normally hamsters should not hibernate. They hibernate for four/five months.
