If a hamster is not eating or drinking take him to the vet quickly. It might be a sign of old age. If the hamster feels cold, and refuses to move, it could either be hibernating or dead. Try to keep hamsters away from drafts, they really don't like it. If it's new to the home, its normal for them to reject food and water and look pitiful for a while. This will also vary depending on the animal and its exact species. For instances, dwarfs have a harder time adjusting, where as short hairs, may have no trouble at all. Take him to the vets!

∙ 14y agoThe question is susceptible to so many answers that you would do better to consult with a competent veterinary authority.
However, if the hamster is still eating and drinking, and shows no other symptoms, you may find it financially prudent to adopt a "wait and see" attitude.
I hereby reiterate my advice to seek a professional opinion, though.

∙ 14y agoHamster won't eat or drink because of wet tail, depression, or may have sudden strokes. So if they won't eat or drink be sure to get your hamster to the vet right away.

If it won't eat or drink then it's probably depressed, has wet tail or it may have had a stroke.
