    Whatever the worry, please don't get too worked up over prognoses -- to find the actual cause, please bring it to a vet. I can theorize all day about what COULD be the problem... but fact is I'm not a vet. I can only strongly suggest taking it to a vet and having a proper exam

    Diabetes

    Your Hamster may have Diabetes, thats what happens when they have too much sugar in their diet. As a result they wee alot, they may loose some fur, they sleep alot more.
    If you want more info on Diabetes visit:

    Hamsters can die from this- so make sure you feed the Haster plenty of veg and a bit of boiled egg.
    Get your Hamster vitamin drops, as that will help.
    What breed is your Hamster?
    Mainly, Russian Dwarf Hamsters suffer from this anyway, and if that's the case it's not you fault.

    Those vitamin drops just foul the water/food. Unless prescribed by a vet they are a waste IMO.

    The main thing to do is cut out sugary foods from the diet. This means no corn, peas, carrots, fruits or store bought treats. Then try and get some pedialyte(sp?) and 50/50 the water it will help keep them hydrated and help them not need to drink so much which will also cut down the urine back to normal. But yes high-protien foods are needed like hamsterhaven said hard boiled egg, tofu, chicken, soy milk, and other such things.
