My daughter's hamster who is about 2 years old, took a fall over a foot, he is walking however now he seems to be walking with a hunched up back. Can some help advise me what could be wrong and if this is going to be fatal. I'm afraid that we will wake up in the morning to a dead pet. Thanks. Please help us ASAP!! Thanks for the answers in advance, this is going to help a 9 year old who is extremely attached to her "jumper". She is reading this as I type by the way and will read any answers, so please be kind. Thanks.

Aaaawww!!! The poor little thing! Well, it's a good thing I read your answer, because I have had many-a-hamster and know a TON about them. DON'T WORRY, I GUARANTEE YOU YOUR HAMPIE WILL LIVE ON, PROBABLY THROUGH THE DAY WHEN PIGS FLY!!! Hehe. Anyway, I have accidently dropped my hamsters before many times, or they have jumped out of my hands, and they were ALWAYS COMPLETELY 100% FINE!!! Once, I dropped a 6-week-old hamster from 5 feet above cold, hard tile, and she was totally fine! However, I highly recommed holding her close to the ground (2 feet or lower is best) with a soft, padded surface underneath incase she takes a tumble. Good luck!!! Hope my info helped at least some! Happy hamstering!

Hey, Wow, this need to be so interesting for you. I love animals and I could say sure, rabbits are well pets to have. Inside and external of your residence. One factor I will have to provide you with a warning approximately is that there cage should be wiped clean out weekly and refreshed everyday until you're going to get a unsatisfied rabbit and a undelightful smell. What I imply via fresh their cage everyday is doing away with any of the historic used bedding and hanging new bedding in to exchange it. Of direction you know the way to feed and water them so, I do not ought to cross down that avenue. It quite does not topic what style of rabbit you get, it may be both a woman or a boy, you simply ought to provide the rabbit concentration, in order that it'll be pleasant. Make definite to get your rabbit younger in order that the rabbit gets youst to you quicker, and in order that you do not get a median rabbit that scrathes and bites. My final tip is that you don't acquire your rabbit from petco, all the animals I have bought from there (besides my ginny pig) has died days after the acquisition. - Hoped I helped - ~ Jessica ~

CALL VET! Also, Check the yellow pages. Occasionally emergency Vet hospitals will have a triage nurse available. Good luck kiddo. Hamsters are far stronger than they look!!

He will be ok. My hamster had fell sometimes from the table and she got crooked sometimes but then she was fine. She didnt have any injuries. And no, its not fatal if hes lucky.

Maybe your hamster put his back out. Take him to the vet, or else I don't know what will happen.
