He or she may well be hiding away a bit if scared. Try putting a treat outside the house door today and see if it gets taken. But also try not to disturb him or her.
It sounds like a normal defence reaction or stress reaction. Anything falling on them will scare them a lot. What kind of wood pad was it?

I thank everyone for their help. My hamster is normal now. He just walks on my hands as usual. This hamster is a new one. His name is Napoleon. He is a pure white Syrian with red eyes (looks exactly like Victoria Rachel's coconut). Some of you would have seen a post of me buying my hamster Fred a few months ago. I used to leave him free every night in my very small balcony. There used to be nothing on the floor except his open cage. But there was a water outlet tube which I closed with a net. One day he took the net off and and went inside the tube. He would have fell the other side and would have not survived the fall cuz my home is present in the first floor of my apartment. I was very depressed and didn't say about his death in this forum. A few months later I bought Napoleon. I made a new cage with floorspace of 500+ square inch and it resembles iodine's cage (Erin's animals) l. I didn't have the presence of mind to post about it in the forum. I am so sorry! In a few hours I will post pictures of Napoleon. Thank u once again guys!
