Why won't one of my hamster's eyes open all the way?

Question

I have a dwarf hamster, and she was fine all day, but I went towards her cage and she woke up and came over to me and for some reason she isn't opening her right eye all of the way. Is it just because she just woke up or something? What could it be? She's fine otherwise.

Answer 1

HAHAHA. That happened to me the other day and I was like flipping out. I took my thumb and tried REALLY GENTLY massage my hamster's eyelid (WHEN IT WAS CLOSED) and he had a fit. Later, I came back and they were normal. xD

Answer 2

maybe if it's a baby it isn't ready to open them all the way but maybe if it doesn't sleep enough it is really tired
