What to do if a hamster is bitten by a mouse

If a hamster is bitten by a mouse, the breeder needs to check whether the hamster has obvious injuries. If the hamster's wound is small and the amount of bleeding is not large, the breeder can disinfect the hamster and then spray it with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs. At the same time, the hamster and the mouse need to be separated immediately to prevent the hamster from being harmed again. If the wound is serious and the amount of bleeding is large, the breeder needs to send the hamster to the pet hospital immediately for examination and treatment.
The dangers of hamsters being bitten by rats
1. Rats often appear in sewers and other places, and they carry many germs. When a rat bites a hamster, it is likely to cause Infectious bacteria. Hamsters are usually kept in multiple households at the same time. When one of the hamsters is infected, the bacteria may spread in the hamster group, eventually leading to a mass infection.
2. Rats may carry plague. This virus is very deadly. When a hamster is bitten by a rat, it is likely to contract the disease and eventually lead to death.
3. Most rats are larger than hamsters. When a rat bites a hamster, it may cause permanent damage to the hamster. For example: residual limbs or missing skin, etc.
