My hamster has been huddling in the corner and has a little bit of diarrhea. He is eating just fine and drinks only occasionally. he isn’t very active at night like he usually is and he sleeps a lot. Is there somthing I can do at home to help treat him? I don’t have the money for a vet bill unfortunately

Keep the cage clean and warm. Keep him as stress free as possible. Stress plays a large role in illness or infection in hamsters. Discontinue feeding any fruits or treats until his stool is normal. If he doesn't begin to improve in a day or two, then he should be seen by your veterinarian.
