i would put this on the pet forum but i think it's archived because no one ever visits it. i was trimming a long haired hamster. it's hot and it's fur was very long and oily looking. so i had it on my big bathroom counter where it's easier for me to see and trim it's fur. well it bit me and i dropped him by accident. he fell on the bathroom floor. he appeared as if the wind was knocked out of him but i've checked and he still can walk ok, no blood and no broken bones apparently. it's sleeping now. i hope all is well with it. just felt the need to tell someone because i felt so terrible about this.
