Get a tape (like a finger cast) go to shoppers to buy some. And wrap it around the wound. Then go to petsmart and ask a hamster specialist to take a look at your hamster. THEN if you want you can give petsmart your phone number, and you can leave your hamster there, in that case they can call you when your hamster can go back home. :) I'm not quite sure because my hamster has never broken her leg but you should be fine good luck :D
If the leg really is painful, take it to the vet.
It is better to take the hamster straight to the vet if any thing else.
Thanks but what if it is dragging its leg ! I think my hamsters leg cracked but always take your pet to the VET! Elizabeth
Hopefully someone will know to wrap it up in first-aid tape THEN, Take the hamster to the vet immediately
The vet said to use a q-tip and splint the leg and feed the hamster lots of protein. White meats. To leave the splint on for 3 days to a week. Just letting a broken leg hang will let it heal so it always hangs.
They can tolerate a lot of pain and it will never allow itself to set if it don't stay still next to the other bone.
if you leave your hamster alone then it will heal by itself. it will take a couple of weeks (3 or 4) if it doesnt heal then then take it to the vet.

∙ 13y agoWell first, if you live in a city, your vet can probably help you. But you can also do some things to help. For example, take out ANYTHING that it would try to play on or with. (Hamster wheel, etc.) Because when my hamster broke its hind leg it would still hurt itself by trying to play on the hamster wheel....Hope I helped:)

How can you tell if your Roborovski hamster has broken his leg if he is still running and eating and sleeping but sometimes he lifts his leg like it hurts and he doesn't squeal?
I believe that this leg lifting activity is just a common issue with Roboviski hamsters because my hamster was presenting the same symptoms. upon a visit to the doctor the leg is not broken. possibly sore feet or legs from much running also it could possibly just be stretching its leg or it could be a genetically inherited trait of the type of hamster. Little is known about these hamsters currently but, I would just say for saving a trip to the vets sake the leg is not broken. Shawna
