Separate the two pets and groom them. If that doesn't work, bring them to the vet.

Your hamster is gone what should you do?
If your hamster is gone, look for it really good. Hamsters need soft bedding to burrow in. Look for somewhere soft and cushiony where the hamster would rest.If you can't find your hamster and it got out of it's cage by itself don't feel like it's your fault even if you opened and it ran out. Hamsters don't come back to you like dogs do. Look for your hamster in the daytime when it should be asleep and also don't open any doors unless you have to. Buy another hamster to replace it and it will make you feel a lot better! But this time be extra careful!
