Although hamsters are pretty hardy pets, they are very small which means that injuries and illness can quickly become a serious matter. Hamsters are actually pretty good at hiding their illnesses until it's nearly too late, which is why it is important to keep a close eye on any changes in your hamster's regular diet or routine.

If you notice any signs of illness in your hamster, you need to see a veterinarian as quickly as you can.

If you think that your hamster is sick or injured, try to keep it warm. If you notice that it is not eating on its own, encourage it to take food or water by a dropper, until you can see a veterinarian.

Common Hamster Illnesses
  • Abscesses: Pockets of infection that can form from minor breaks in the skin. In many cases abscesses occur in the hamster's cheeks from cuts causes by food. If the hamster looks like it constantly has food in its cheek pouches, it may have an abscess, to which a vet will need to drain.
