Dear Ted, during the recent cold weather I thought Hammy my hamster looked a bit chilly, so I put my sun lamp next to his cage. Unfortunately I then went on holiday for two weeks and forgot to turn it off. Now that I've returned, he does not seem anywhere near as lively or playful as he was before. I enclose a picture. Is there anything I can do to restore him back to health? Would a new wheel reinvigorate him?

Hoping you can help. T.
