One way is to gently but firmly run your finger along her back. If she sort of brings her body close to the ground, and "freezes" (not moving) then chances are she probably is.

How do you know if your hamster is in heat?

Your hamster usually is in heat when you pet it by its lower back. Your hamster then will slowly become stiff, point its tail up, hunch its back and will try to stick itself to the ground. This is not something to worry about, it happens to a lot of female hamsters. People also say this happens in a young age (1 and under) but that is not true. My hamster is about 1 and a half and it happens all the time. This also means they want a mate... now clearly that cant happen due to the fact if you gave her a mate she would most likely eat him. So why would a female want a mate if she will eat him? I'm not quite sure. But hamsters usually begin heating every 4-5 days no matter what age. Hope I helped! BTW when your hamster is in that hunched position, continue petting her. They like it.
