What do you do if a hamster explodes?

Answer 1

If your hammy escapes from his/her cage, put a few of his/her favorite treats and his/her sleeping hut near where you think he/she is hiding. Check at intervals during the day and, if you're a night owl, at night. If you find your friend in his/her sleeping hut, creep up silently and try to pick him/her up. Or, you can try building a trap. I found one that might work (even though it's for guinea pigs). Go to www.instructables.com and enter 'guinea pig trap' in the search bar. Good luck catching your hammy! Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Hamsters do not explode like a bomb on their own - like all mammals, they are mostly water by weight and are not volatile. If your hamster does explode, I would suggest figuring out what caused it to explode.

However, hamsters can bloat and have an internal explosion where the pressure inside their gastrointestinal tract becomes sufficient to rupture the stomach or intestines. This is excruciatingly painful for the hamster and is generally preceeded by signs such as expressions of distress (chittering, pawing or scratching at the abdomen, etc) and distension of the abdomen.
