Our hamster is only ten months old. Just went to get her out and she's laying on her tummy, whiskers are twitching and eyes are moving but her legs are flat out and she has a bump along her spine Sad She won't go in her wheel so she hasn't injured herself on there, could she have hurt herself climbing the bars in her cage and falling off? Is there anything I can do to help her? (Besides the vet tonight preferably I'm a lone parent and the DC have just gone to bed)

No, the doors were cable tied closed to prevent escapes so the DC couldn't possibly have handled her without my knowledge as all ties were still in place

Just read back on the thread after a few days, sorry to hear the hamsters gone OP.

I had a hamster die from 'wet tail' when I was younger, if you look it up one of the symptoms is a hunched back- could this be what happened?

My hammy had a tumour which appeared overnight. Had to have her PTS because the vet said it would grow and break her bones. Poor ham. RIP.
