Always provide fresh food and water but give them plenty of food for when they store before their hibernation.
In the wild yes they do. Pet hamsters tend not to gain much because usually the heating in the house is warm enough. If its not then the hamster will go into hibernation. The hamster will gain a lot of weight before hibernation as it is preparing to stay asleep for a long while.
Hibernate or hibernation
It's probably hibernation time?
Yes they are like dogs and can breed anytime anyway!
if you have checked your hamster to make sure that it is alive and not hurt it most likely means it went into hibernation. when hamsters feel it is too cold they go into hibernation just like other wild mammals do. make sure that if it is winter keep your house at a good temperature to keep your hamster happy!
answer me why wont my hamster move
The activity of a hamster is the key sign of how healthy your hamster is.
Well first, if its not breathing thats a good sign. Second, if there is no air where the hamster is placed, thats also a good sign.
It may be that he has gone into hibernation, I have had this before with my hamster. I was advised to warm him up and to have water there for him. If you think he may be hibernating check out: http://ww.hamsterific.com/HamsterUniversity/HamsterHibernation.html
