I have a hamster who is curled up into a ball, is cold, but isn't stiff! Is it dead or in a torpor?

Question

I've tried warming it up, but it isn't moving! Help!

Answer

hun i think its on its way out,
keep it warm as much as you can, and hope it gets better but everyone has to go at some point

Answer

Hamsters will do this from time if there has been a noticeable temperature change. Do not worry! Try and regulate the temperature, but if that doesn't work then your hamster may be dead.
