First, carefully inspect the cut to make sure it hasn't resulted in any broken limbs.

Then, you can bathe the cut in a solution...

Boil some water and let it cool until it is a bit warmer than lukewarm. Add a drop of antiseptic to it: this can mean salt, alcohol, whatever you're comfortable with, really. Do this once or twice daily for a while, until the cut heals or maybe even a few days after.

Until it heals don't stress over it, it shouldn't hurt your little hammy.

your hamster might be limping so but its claw on a washcloth, take it to the vet, or call a vet. If your hamster is not doing anything it is probably in a lot of pain.

Can you put a dwarf hamster with a regular hamster?

Other than the hamster resembling a miniature guinea pig, they have nothing in common. A hamster is a rodent whose native habitat is a desert and the guinea pig is not a rodent. Hamsters are able to hold food in their two front paws, but guinea pigs can't do this. Hamsters actually have more individual toes than guinea pigs do. You have to periodically trim guinea pig nails, whereas you do not have to do that with hamsters.


One of your hamsters keeps biting the other and you are afraid it will get hurt What do you do?

Try separating them for a little bit (like a day or two). When you put them back together, rub beeswax all over both of them. Then they smell like each other and except each other better. If that doesn't work, then you probably should get another cage.

Can female Russian dwarf hamsters kill each other?

All the animals that I can think of bite--except for goldfish. Russian Dwarf hammies DO bite, but it's in their natural instinct. You can tame this out of them, though. It will take a lot of time and patience. I am saying this as an experienced dwarf owner. Play with the hammiw everyday, DO NOT wake it up while its sleeping, and feed it food and treats by hand.yes, Russian dwarf do bite, i had the same question and had my hamster answer it. Dwarf Hamsters are more 'Nippy' and more territorial of their cages than Syrian, if you scare you hamster or take it away from its food bowl it may bite if you want to try this it might help: put a towel on your hands then place the hamster on you hands with the towel on it, make it trust you again by , talking nicely to it and it should start to trust you after a while....... hope this works for everybody!!!! no fancy Russian dwarf hamsters do not bite but most other breeds of hamsters do

Hamsters should live in cages that are sealed and closed all the way because they are escape masters.
