My hamster has three legs... what should i do?

[Treehugger15]

My hamster has three legs and i don't know what to do. I got the hamster as a birthday present and nobody noticed until the second day. he seems completely fine like i think it was a birth defect, it is simply strange. Should I do anything, or what should i do? Is there such thing as a peg leg for hamsters?

heart Awwe, thats so cute! ...in a sad kinda way.
Like most other animals, your hamster should be fine. He might have problems running on a wheel like most hamsters, so you could have problems with a hyper active hamster.
As long as he can move around his cage freely, eating, drinking and goofing around, you will be fine.
If you notice he doesnt look healthly, you might wanna talk to a vet about it.

I had a hamster with either skin canser or a tumor for, 4 years. Hamsters are amazing little guys. (most hamsters live 2-3 years crying ) Mine died afew weeks ago.

humm, thats strange.
it might not be a serious problem, so i don't think you should worry about it too much, but i suggest you to go to a vet or something and to ask if this is serious or not, so that you know for sure.

aww, that sounds kinda cute.
i used to know a cat w/ three legs.
it's name was tripod.
but you shouldn't worry about it - unless it seems to bother your hammy.
