Hamster Insanely Flips All The Time?

i got my hamster as a baby and just recently she started to walk up to her walls and fall on her back then it got to her falling on her side. The next night she was flipping. Now she wont stop. I am afraid that I did something to her when she was a baby. She is totally safe and all but I think it is just out of the ordinary.
Answers:
maybe it is just bored and found that was something fun to do. I had a hamster that climbed up the walls and would then let go and plummet to the floor. It seemed to enjoy it .
If its not hurting itself then just let it play.
It's nothing you did. Relax!
It's a birth defect.
Something is "wired" wrong in her brain.
It's not harmful. She's not in pain, but she will probably do this her entire life.
Some people actually breed hamsters that do this on purpose!
Hamsters might have seizures for the same reasons humans do, it could be a genetic defect or caused by their enviornment. To learn more contact your ver (I don't think physical assistance will be needed with the vet.. over the phone should be fine unless the seizures become frequent) or learn more about seizures with humans, and what causes them. If this happens, you may try to calm your hamster down if you like but DO NOT try to restrain it or it might hurt itself or hurt you. It is also important for me to add that your hamster might have done this because of something it heard. Hamsters often act strangley to even the most miniscule sounds, and they have much better hearing than humans.
Theres nothing wrong with dat. But its cute
she has a brain disorder, you may want to talk to a vet about this.
sweety! theres something wrong with its spine and it needs to be put down... it may seem sad but its for the best intrest of the hammie! just remember that iots nothing you probably did but she still needs to be put down! you wouldnt want to flip all day would you? sorry!
