His teeth should grow back if they broke off if the entire tooth fell out probably not hamsters teeth never stop growing as long as they live this is why they are always chewing to keep there teeth at a respectable lenth.

AnswerIf the whole tooth broke off they will never grow back. If this has happened or until the teeth grow back, your hamster will be quite happy eating mush. You can soak his hamster food in a little warm water before you give it to him to soften it up a bit or feed him porridge oats made with warm water as neither will require chewing. You can also make a MASH with any leftover vegetables (steamed or boiled only with no salt etc) which all hamsters love anyway. AnswerYou also need to tackle the reason why he was nibbling at his cage in the first place. It is likely that he is bored and doesn't have anything suitable in his cage to chew on. Hamsters need to chew regularly to keep their teeth from becoming overgrown. You should provide him with things to chew in his cage such as the cardboard centre of toilet rolls and safe branches such as apple, hawthorne and hazelnut and also plenty of entertainment.

Our hamster regularly swung using his two front paws from the top bars. One day he slipped and broke his teeth on the side bars. Over the next few weeks he got thin and lethargic , you could see he was trying the food but couldn't eat. We started giving him baby food and sun butter. He loves the butternut squash, applesauce, carrots. His size, energy and coat all look great now. he still has no teeth but the baby food is definitely working and he is happy, active and apparently healthy. Hopefully his teeth will grow back but at least he is getting nourishment.

How could you feel your hamster without you getting biten?

You have to train your hanster to get used to you. Hamsters bite your two reasons, firstly because they are scared and secondly because they think that your fingers might be good to eat. First, it is a good idea to hold food in your fingertips, and let the hamster take the fod from your fingers. After a few days of this, you can move onto touching your hamster gently. The hamster still may try to eat your fingers, if so just move away your hand quickly. When your hanster gets more used to you touching it, you can start letting it crawl onto your hand. Place food into the middle of your hand and let the hamster crawl on by itself. If the hamster still tries to eat your hand (quite common) you can place a towel over your hand so if the hamster bites, you will not get hurt. After this, you can start trying to pick up your hamster in your fingers. This will distress the hamster the most so firstly, pick it up for just a little then out down. Gradually extend the holding time and reward the hamster with a treet after each trial. Hamsters require a lot of careful handling and patience. This process takes maybe a month. Good luck.
