Answer
Hi Leanne,

please take the injured hamster to the vets straight away.

I had the same thing happen to me and although i cleaned the hamsters wounds and kept her warm, she died.

It sounds like you hamsters have been fighting - it may be that your hamsters are solitary - i have three of them!

Let me know how get on at the vets.

Regards,

Tammy
