How can you tell if a hamsters broken its leg?

Your hamster will probably not walk on that leg, perhaps dragging it. Also, I had a hamster that broke her ankle, and she chewed off her foot. I brought her to the vet, and they said that they could try different types of surgeries, but they can't use any anesthesia. I decided that putting her to sleep was the best choice for her, because the surgeries sounded very painful. :( Good luck, and I hope your hamster's leg isn't broken.


My son closed his new hamsters leg in the cage the hampser is dragging that leg but still running in wheel and eating How can you tell if it is broken or should go to the vet?

If the hamster is still able to run on its wheel and eat, it may not have a severe injury. However, it's best to observe for any signs of pain or distress such as limping, swelling, or lack of movement in the injured leg. If these signs persist, it's recommended to seek veterinary care for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
