Take it to the vet if you can afford it. I've been bit by my hamster too, once. But that's because it was asleep and I decided to touch it and it must've felt threatened.

Yah,i think u must have scare it.. I guess it depends on their breed too... For me, mine is more of a hyper active breed... Thus, its hyperactive reaction... Keke... Is it very ex to take it to a vet? =(

sure, you can take your hamster to the vet. the swollen leg is probably painful and thats most likely why he bit you. if you dont mind spending the money for a vet visit, then go ahead and see what the vet can do to help the little guy.

Yesh, i will... Thank you so much for ur advice... Its hard to keep little pets... Especially when i have got 13 of them... Keke... They are so fortunate in the sense that they have got a real big and comfy house for them... But i dislikes it when they fight... Its really disastrous...

I think you should. It could be a tumour. You probably hurt it so it bit you. If you can afford the vet, I hope you will go. The poor little thing, it must be in lots of pain now. Happy mylotting and good day / night to you.
