Is it cold?
My hamster used to go limp when it got cold.
Try and warm it up by placing it on a blanket on a hot water bottle and then take it straight to the vet.
Do be careful it does not get to hot.
Good luck with it

3 years old, your hammy might be dying. You may want to take it to the vet, but at 3, which is ripe old age for a hamster, she might be getting ready to cross the rainbow bridge.

I'm really sorry for your loss. As you said she was old. I'm sure she was happy to be with you in her last moments. Let us know if you need any encouragement. That's what we're here for.
