There are many hamsters who have three legs because it was amputated. Reasons on why it was done varies. Most of the time it is because of a severe leg break. They tend to get along just fine on three legs. There was one hamster who had only two legs. Hamsters are hardy little creatures and recover fairly well. They learn how to re- balance themselves and how to groom in a new fashion or with their stubs. The age of the hamster when getting an amputation may effect how well it can recover from the surgery; as well as any prior complications.
