Either they are cold and are trying to concerve energy, (which you should either put a heating pad under part of the cage to keep him/her warm,) or your hamster is about to die. I hope it's the former.

What is wrong with your hamster if it fell off its cage and was lying on its back not moving and then slowly started to move and she's moving much better now but is still slow?

Actually, hamsters are pretty sturdy, and they can't tell 5 inches from 5 meters, this is why they always fall off cliffs or high tables. They usually recover after a few days or a week. Taking your hamster the the vet is the best solution. You hamster may have injured one of its bones permanently, making it harder to move. Make sure the cage isn't high up and this incident won't happen again.


Is it common for a hamster to die after a fall?

Yes, they have very small bones and organs. A fall of a few feet for a hamster would be like a fall of a few stories for a person. One of my hamsters once fell 12x3 feet into a grass patch. It froze there for probably half an hour before we realized he fell and went down to search for him. After we found him lying motionless, we prodded him a bit and he squeaked and scuffled his limbs while still upside down, but other than that he was still fine.. However, we suspect there were some bone fractures as there was something weird in his movement, behavior and diet after that.

How do you get your hamster asleep in your hand?

First of all, this usually will not work. Most hamsters are at least a little bit afriad of their owners, so do not completely trust them to keep them safe while sleeping. As they can feel the movement of the human breathing, they are aware that they are moving when sitting in hand, so do not like going to sleep when conscious of this movement. It helps to take the hamster out of its house when just woken up, so it is still sleepy, and place it in your hands in a darkened room, cupping your hands around it. Placing a light material such as a handkerchief over the hamster can help too - don't worry, as long as you don't tuck it in, it won't suffocate. The hamster will hopefully drop off into peaceful sleep.


Is it ok for hamsters to climb their a cage on the roof and fall?

Yes, because my hamster Maxwell climbs the cage every night and i look at it always, when he fell down he is still ACTIVE because you need to put some saw dust or wood shavings for your hamster so that when he/she falls down he/she will not get injured.


How do you know if your hamster has a concussion?

Honey, I was wondering the exact same thing before my hammy died...I hope that didn't scare you ... >> Well, for a hamster to have a concussion, it must've taken a fall. Therefore no fall, no concussion. Since hamster's can't puke or anything, it's hard to tell. If your hamster is kind of out of it, not walking straight, disoriented, it just might have a concussion. However, you should take your hamster to the vet. They probably won't charge you anything if they don't do anything besides diagnose, so don't worry about the cost. Either way simple hamster procedures (sorry, I couldn't think of another word. I mean like putting on a little cast kinda of idea) only cost $50 or less. I don't think that they'll be needing to do any of that, they'll just give you any advice if your hamster does have a concussion. Best of luck with that,
