Exclamation Massive fall!!!

Ok im freaking out im so sorry I should have been more careful.

Tofu my roborovski i was getting her out for playtime when she sprinted out a tiny gap i accidentally left between the mug she was in and my hand and she fell like a metre. Instead of falling onto the wooden floor she fell into the carboard box of hammy toys.

Its because she still hates hands.

I held onto her clpse to the floor and checked her legs they werent at any funny angles and she was moving them. She was then running round lots. But now I'm worried that maybe her feet aren't fine I mean I haven't ever looked that closely at her tiny feet it looks like her toes might be turned upwards slightly but idk. I don't want to disrupt her anymore since I've just been staring at her but I don't know if Im overeacting. Are robo feet like that? I dont think so I've been looking at pictures of robos but idk.

Im so sorry

Default Re: Massive fall!!!

I'm sorry I don't really know much about how roborovski hamsters are meant to look, but the height Tofu fell seems to be very high. If she had a soft landing she might have got a bit of protection from being hurt though. Keep an eye on her for the next day and see if you notice if anything is wrong in how she's walking and in general behaving. If you believe she could be hurt, I would take her to the vet to get her examined as soon as possible.

I'm really sorry that this happened to Tofu. I'll be praying that all is well with her. Also, please don't feel guilty as it was an accident and you couldn't have known this was going to happen. You'll both be in my thoughts and prayers x

So sorry this has happened. They are such fast little things. I have big cushions on the floor in front of my cage in case this kind of thing happens (after Newt dive bombed out of a door). All you can do is observe her for the next day and if she seems in pain or not her usual self then take her to the vet. Their toes are so tiny I'm not sure how you could see if they look different She may have injured herself so keep an eye on how she's walking about.
