Take one table spoon of salt, half a table spoon of turmeric powder (this is a yellow powder used in Asian cuisine) add half a cup water and heat it gently on low fire, when the mixture thickens take an old peice of rag or bandage clothe and mix with the rest of the mixture. when it is luke warm wrap this rag round the broken leg, or foot with a little pressure. this bandage will dry quickly because of the salt in it. Leave it for 2-3 days or until the hamster starts walking without any difficulty. You can also wet the bandage twice daily with the rest of the mixture after heating it again to make it a liquid form. Hope this helps, and your hamster is ok !!!

A galah cannot survive with a broken leg in the wild, if it is left untreated. It can certainly survive if it is a pet, especially if its leg is properly splinted by a vet.

Your hamster has a broken leg so she can't climb or use her wheel she is bored what can you do for her?
If your hamster has a broken leg, it needs treatment from the vet. See the related question.If you have already had the vet treat your hamster, then it is important to keep the hamster quiet while the leg heals. She is probably not bored, but tired, as healing takes a lot of energy, especially early on.You can vary your hamsters food a little, and give it your company: talk to it and pat it gently.
