Default Re: I think my hamster has broken it’s leg

He is likely in some pain if the leg is broken so he really does need seen by a vet. For now remove his wheel and any shelves or things he can climb on. Put food nearbye and also water in a bowl in case he is unable to stand up to drink. If the foot looks black then the blood supply has been cut off and he needs seen urgently. If it is very bad it may been amputation but they do just fine on 3 legs. May send a video to the vets and they prescribe online. Ask about costs before you commit if money is an issue at this difficult time.
