Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Bring it to the vet if you can.
Are you using pine or cedar litter? That's very bad for them- and can give them respiratory problems. Dust free cat litter works well. Not clay cat litter, though.
She may be allergic to something around her or her food also.
I hope you figure out what's wrong and good luck!

Rodents are prone to respiratory problems. You should take her to the vet, especially if she starts having nosebleeds. I had a rat with a respiratory problem, and he lived for five years, so don't worry too much about her, but you should still have her checked out.

No, it's not really normal. It could be the wrong kind of bedding. I would say either bring her to a vet and get her checked out (and ask them about the kind of bedding to use) or else find someone else that knows a lot about hamster care. I wouldn't suggest going to the petstore that you bought her because they probably don't know, if they did, then you wouldn't have gotten a sick hamster from them.

It is possible hat your hamster may be allergic to the bedding in her cage. Change the bedding and see if that makes a difference. Otherwise take the hamster to a vet, or as the previous answer said, take her back to where you bought her to get them to check her. All the best.

Hamsters, just like people can get colds. If it is cold in your house, he could have gotten a cold from it because usually pet stores keep them pretty warm. If your house isnt cold, i would suggest taking it back to where ever you bought it from, because it could have been sick when they sold it to you, and they should either give you a new one or treat it until its better, because it shouldnt be making noises like that.
good luck!
