of course any living or breathing thing can get shock aside from plants. hamsters can get shock from loud and startling noises and just the slightest startle could make the hamsters heart skip a beat. if you have a hamster remember that a noise that may seem reasonably quiet to you can be extremely loud for hamster.
Hamsters might also go into shock when they are dropped or they fall. Symptoms include lifelessness, deep, heavy breathing and a state almost like hybernation where the hamsters body temperature will drop and their limbs, ears and mouth area may turn a dark purple/blue. If this happens try and warm it up with a lot of bedding, bubble wrap and also, filling latex gloves with warm water and placing them a distance away, but close enough to give heat, but so the hamster can not be burnt and can get away if they need to. If they do not improve after this, they should see a vet.
Yes, Hamsters do get hurt easily... they are flexible witch usually means they are... but they are not. If you are getting a hamster please make sure that you do not do allot of horseplay that may result in broken bones or even it may result in the hamster dieing

WHY would you want to give a peppermint to a hamster???? Hamsters don't eat peppermints in the wild.
they can get really mean if you hurt them
No, it can hurt their skin if they get wet or get soap on it.
yes it wont hurt them at all
Hamsters sometimes 'nip', if your hand smells of their food, they may test it gently, however as soon as they realise it's not food, they will stop. This doesn't really hurt, there's no force behind the bite. A true hamster bite is deep and painful. Hamsters have two pairs of long incisors, easily capable of sinking into flesh.
Syrian hamsters are solitary, and absolutely don't care if they're alone.
