In general if any small animal, smaller than a rabbit say, ends up with both hind legs broken, or more than one broken limb, it's best to take them to a vet to see the severity of the breakages anyways, then speak to a vet about treatment possibilities. Preferably a vet that actually knows what he/she's doing with small rodents. If you don't have the money to take your pet to the vet then....if both hind legs are broken, you'll either need to spend 24/7 with the animal until it heals on its own(after you re-set the broken limbs depending on if the bones are just broken and not shattered) or...put it to sleep.
