Oops I dropped my Hamster it looks fine what will happen next2007-11-24 22:13:24

Ok, on the first day I got my Hamster it crawled out of my hands and I dropped it!!! :-( Well it was about 3 feet. Then I put it in its cage and now it looks fine. I mean its walking eating drinking and running in its wheel. So what will happen?? Oh another thing is is that I dont know it Fluffy knows where his water bottle is. How do I teach him without picking him up??

HELP!!

Answers:

If it is fine looking that means he is OK. But make sure you don't drop it too often, it could actually die.

Don't worry about teaching it to drink from the bottle because it is their instinct that would tell them where to drink from. If you are still worried, give him a sand box to roll in and if you find that the sand is wet the next day, that means your hamster has been drinking. But don't forget to clean its cage at least once a week, and change the sand in the sand box once it is wet.

it is fine if she is healthy and happy then make sure that she is not limping and she will be fine

I am a new Hamster owner too.

Mine fell to floor last night, but only about a foot. I tried to stop him but he really wanted to get off the couch.

They are pretty resilliant, so just keep a close eye on your Hammy, by the sounds of it though everything is ok.

I too thought my Hamster did not know where the water bottle was, I got him on Tuesday and it was only Thursday night I saw him actually use it. I just squeezed the botthe slightly when he was near and he caugh on real fast when he saw it dripping.

You really did it this time! Now we will wait and see what happens next.

Ok, firstly I doubt the fall hurt him, if anything he may be a bit bruised, but sounds like that's the very max, so he'll be ok. Easy to do!
