My guinea pig died a few months ago - he was six. We watched some videos of him when he was younger and we were shocked at how slow and feeble he had gotten - it had happened so gradually we never noticed. He had symptoms like that of your hamster, at the end.
He died in the middle of the night. He hadn't really moved in days. I woke up to the sound of him scrabbling in his cage. When I went to look at him, he was lying on his side, his eyes shut, his legs moving like he was running as fast as he could, and he was making that half-purr, half-chirp noise that guinea pigs make when they're happy. I sat there and watched him as his legs moved slower and slower and he eventually stopped moving.
I'm sorry about your hamster.
