Can’t move its whole body, collapsed in a lump, with convulsions, but eyes can open.
A limp, convulsing hamster may suffer low blood sugar, poisoning, or epilepsy, all serious and needing urgent care. See a vet; if unavailable, give glucose and keep it warm, and seek care if no relief.
Constant Tongue Out, Slightly Rapid Breathing, Warm Paws and Ears
Warm ears, fast breathing, and tongue-out mainly suggest heat—cats pant to cool down. Move to a cooler place to avoid heatstroke. If rapid breathing continues after cooling, the cat is likely sick—see a vet.
Once when I took her out to play it was very hot, and for some reason she just fell asleep and didn’t move at all. I put her in front of a fan and she started moving again.
Based on your description, the hamster most likely suffered heatstroke and fell into a coma. Cool it with a damp cloth in a ventilated, shady spot, rehydrate with glucose water after waking, and see a vet if other signs appear.

My cat is having convulsions, rolling its eyes back, breathing rapidly with its mouth open — what should I do?
The above symptoms usually point to a serious health problem requiring immediate first aid and a trip to the vet to find the cause. Convulsions with eye-rolling suggest poisoning or epilepsy; rapid open-mouth breathing indicates severe oxygen deprivation.
After about an hour outside, my cat kept sticking out its tongue and trembling. What’s going on?
Tongue out and trembling after going out is usually heat, nervousness, or stress; rarely heart issues. Calm cats are timid and stress easily, showing panting and shaking that passes with rest. If hot, cool it down to avoid heatstroke.

What happens if I tape a dog’s mouth shut?
Taping a dog's mouth is extremely dangerous—dogs pant to breathe and cool down, and tape blocks that, causing breathing trouble and oxygen starvation, even heatstroke and death in heat. It also stops eating/drinking, leading to dehydration, starvation, organ failure. It also badly damages trust and mental health.
Why does my dog suddenly have a fever?
A sudden fever can come from heat, colds, inflammation, or infectious disease. Long heat exposure causes heatstroke; big temperature swings cause colds. If fever appears with no clear cause, see a vet.
My baby rabbit this morning kept twitching for no reason, then its mouth kept opening and closing while its limbs didn’t move—what’s wrong?
Twitching can signal heatstroke, low blood sugar, epilepsy, or brainstem oxygen lack; an opening/closing mouth is labored breathing. Move it to a ventilated, quiet, comfortable spot, give glucose water, and provide hay, pellets, and clean water. Watch 1–2 days; if no relief or it recurs, see a vet.
