What to do if a hamster escaped from the cage?
Look around the area of the Hamster's cage. Hamster won't wonder off far if you noticed them escape about 2 minutes ago. Search where the most places that are tiny enough and have some food near by.My trick is to make a small barrier around the cage so the Hamster might get out, but it'll be trapped inside the barrier.For more information, visit:www.hamsterownerswebs.webs.com

How do you get your hamster back when it ecscaped out of cage?
ok well first never scream or panic, that will scare it away even more, ok so well usually if u can't find it block off all stairs, and leave some food on the floor so your hamster could smell it and go to the food. If you see your hamster running but cant get a grip of it to catch it, get their hamster ball and try pushing him/her in it, or get a piece of food and hold it up to him/her so they could chew on it and calm down. I hope I helped!
If a hamster jumps off your lap and squeals and then has trouble walking what should you do besides taking it to the vet?
If you are not going to take the hamster to the vet, I would suggest that you put the hamster back in its cage. If there are no apparent signs of blood, just keep it in cage and keep it warm for the hamster, no drafts. See what it is doing after a couple of days. Sometimes, a little time is all they need to heal. Just watch the hamster. Don't attempt to pick it up for any reason until you see it out an about under its own power in its cage by itself. It is OK to pet it but do not attempt to pick it up.
What should you do if your hamster is trying to chew its leg off?
When an animal is in pain, their main relief is to chew and distract themselves from their pain. It irriates them, therefore chewing their leg is a great plan in their eyes. This may be beacuse of the lenght of their teeth, a broken bone (they're bones are extremely fragile" or a more serious matter. If I were you I'd take your hamster to a veteranary clinic or an animal hospital. This could lead to much more than you think.
