Is it normal for hamster teeth to fall out???

i waz wondering if it is normal for hamster teeth to fall out. please help!! there was blood on its cage

Uh... that doesn't sound good. Might wanna check with your local pet place. My hamsters never had that happen. Of course, Google tells me that "Teeth can be knocked out on impacted during a fall. This is not good. Because hamster teeth are not rooted the way a human’s teeth are, there is probably no way to save the tooth. If it was an incisor that was knocked out, the hamster may have an awful time eating and will have to have his teeth clipped regularly as with the maloccluded teeth."

i cleaned out his cage today and i saw blood in it. so i made him open his mouth and they were gone!!!

Hmm. Sounds like a scary movie. Yeah Google says they don't grow back, so I'd consult the local vet or pet store... or if you're not too attached I'd replace with a similar build and color. :D Just joking... kinda...

did the hamster in question come with a USB connection?...try flashing a monster pack. And just out of curiosity how exactly do you get a hamster to open it's mouth?

I feel for you M8, my dog just had to have an operation that cost me a blasting $600. It could have been $1000 but the pet doctor was being nice to me and my wife :)

Stop hitting it!

Ha at the pet store you can get a hamster for $8. The vet charges a few hundred to fix the hamsters teeth. Hmm. The emotional ties quickly come into question...

I had a hampster, named, Hamp. I left an open Mt Dew can on the top of its cage, when I came back, the hampster was eaten by ants!!
