Will this hurt my hamster?

Question

Last night I was watching my hamster and she had somehow gotten on the top of her cage and was walking upside down. She then fell and landed on her back. Will this damage her back or hurt her?

It's pretty high up because she had to climb on her igloo to be able to get on it.

Answer 1

If she keeps on doing it over and over again, then yes. Which cage do you have? It depends what height she's falling from.

Answer 2

just make sure that there is nothing sharp or hard for her to land on.

Answer 3

Well yea, if she landed on her back it could easily kill her, take her to the vet.

Answer 4

no this will not hurt her my hamsters fall all the time and never get her it just the way they are!

Answer 5

my hamster used to do tht all the time and her cage was like 2 feet high idk if it hurt her back or not but she was fine but whatever u do tell every hamster owner u no DO NOT GIVE YOUR HAMSTER CAREFRESH ULTRA BEDDING THEY WILL CHOKE ON IT AND DIE

Answer 6

No it shouldnt hurt her if she landed on some sort of bedding. You'll know it hurt her if she lays there for a munute or two not moving. But if you think she may have hurt herself take her to the vet immediatly.

Answer 7

She could get hurt doing this, break a leg, hurt her back.

I would not let her do this, you might want to consider a different cage.

Answer 8

maybe you should put some cotton balls for padding around the cage. It might not hurt her back but you should take caution. put something on top of the igloo so she cant climb. Funny how you called it 'walking upside down lol!
