Question
about maybe a week ago my hamster got out and went behind the dryer and chewed and climbed into the silver dryer thing that leads to the outside. well four days later we found under the counter she ran behind the fridge. now shes cleaned her fur but is very jumpy doesn't seem like she play a lot and she has been sleeping a lot. but she has been eating and drinking fine. do you think there would be anything really wrong with her. what would be the best to take care of her since we just found her.

Answer
wow, she's had a serious adventure, she may be a little paranoid due to the adventure, but she should be fine. The best thing to do is to leave her alone for a while. I would aso give her some tiny pieces of granola. They say it's a good home remedy to help out their digestive system.
