Answer 2

How old were the babies when you took them away?Hope they were more than four weeks old when you weaned them from their mother.

Hamster go through dull patches like that, your hamster must have been so active since the birth of the litter, taking care of them and now that they have gone, she must be feeling dull and bored.

Have you cleaned out the cage completely since you removed the litter? If not, clean it out thoroughly to remove any smell of the litter in it so that she does not have any reminding smells of her litter.

Hamsters have short memory and she would get over it soon and start becoming normal once again. Also motherhood is such a tiring process that she must be resting completely now.

Leave her alone for another one week, if she does not get back to normal, perhaps you might have to take her to a vet for opinion to rule out any sickness. Until then, try to make her active by playing with her often, putting her in the hamster ball for 20 minutes every evening and give her her favourite treats to boost her health. If she is not eating at all, force feed her some formula with a syringe everyday since it would be needed to maintain her health.
