The hamster will most likely hide and cower, as this is their instinct as they are prey, not predators, and an injury would make them more vulnerable. They also will limp or hold up the injury, lick, or try to conceal it. If your hamster is acting like this, take it to a vet immediately.

When you hamster is hurt or sick, it usually has something unusual going on about it and acts lethargic (unactive). If it's hurt it could also act weird. If it shows signs of being sick, look for symptoms and look up in a book or the internet to see what could be wrong.
