It's really best to handle her as little as possible - especially further into the pregnancy. Let us know how she does and post some pics of her if you can baby hammies are super cute but be ware - they will eat you out of the house !!! Feed mom lots and lots during pregnancy and nursing and always have loads of fresh water as close as possible to her nest. It's really best to have the water in a bottle and not a bowl - you don't want few day old baby hammy stumbling from the nest and drowning
And whatever you do - no matter how incredibly temted you are - do not disturb the nest once they are born and don't clean the cage for at least 10 days after birth (just the little wee corner can be cleaned). You don't want to stress mom and have her eat the babies. Its a horrific sight
All the best !

I totally agree with the above from now on you want to handle her as little as possible to prevent her miscarrying and whatever you do don't disturb her or that nest once they are born. I have witnessed a mother eating her babies after escaping and its horrific so however tempted you are to have a peek try not too

Please post some pics when they arrive as baby hammies are very cute

She might do ! You are lucky she did not break something ! Just leave her in rest and peace and hope for the best ......

I also think it's possible. You should avoid putting her in high places for the rest of the pregnancy if she doesn't have a miscarriage, that way you avoid this sort of thing happening again. You should also be handling her as little as possible because she will get stressed.

i hope she is ok she dont look like shes broke nothing but i just thought i would give her a bit of a stretch because she was scratching to get out her cage, she was only on the bed for 1 min as well then she fell off. well as i said i hope shes ok but we will know in about 7-8 days time if shes still preggy im just crossing my fingers now.
