Cold could be one source as 70 degrees is about correct temp. Could be: upper respiratory infection, age relayed to stroke, cancer, stomach issues. Be sure you are feeding & giving water. Best bet: vet or animal doctor and get advice, treatment & peace of mind for you and your pet. Good luck

The reason why your hamster is shaking may be because it is feeling cold. You can try to keep it warm by placing the hamster in a soft blanket for a few minutes. If it still shivers, then go to a vet right away as this might be something serious.
