What is wrong if a hamster is dragging its back legs but still uses them on occasion and there is no vet for 400 miles?

That really depends on a few things:
- If your hamster isn't always dragging its legs, that means that when it is, it's "scent marking", or in a non-scientific manner, telling you what's his.
- If your hamster is always dragging its back legs, you should probably get a vet to check it out.
This is exactly what happened to my hamster. I took him to the vet and the vet gave him some pain killers and some antibiotics in an injection. The vet will ask you to come back 24 hours later.
In those 24 hours take out all there wheels, tubes and that kinda stuff and make sure you keep them warm and feed them a tiny bit of bread soaked with low fat milk for calcium. Then take them back to the vet the next day.

Why is your hamster dragging its back legs We don't know she was fine a couple of days ago and now she can't move them so now she is dragging them instead and she tends not to move about her cage?
It is 4-30-09 and our little Bubbles was fine last night!Now tonight she is dragging her legs in a delay action and breathing hard-she is 2yrs old but she was perfectly great last night. She is still sweet and won't bite- I think I will call vet in a.m. if not to late!

How should you approach a female roborovski dwarf hamster that hates you?
If you still want to play with the hamster and take it out of its cage then gardening gloves are a good idea. They enable you to still be able to have fun with your hamster, but if he turns nasty then you are protected from being bitten.
Everytime you try and pick up your hamster he tries to bite you?
Obviously, your hamster is still scared of you. Try petting it, fedding it, anything that will make a hamster get to know you better.

I have seasonal allergies and a hamster. I used to keep my hamster in the basement and now she is in my room, but there isn't really much of a difference. so no i don't think that a hamster would make things worse, but if you are still unsure don't keep the hamster in your room
