Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Small Animal | Unknown - Small Animal | Female

Hi, so I was wondering how much will it cost to take a hamster in for a check in. Today she got in a fight with another hamster and she hasn't been active and she looks as if she had wet tail and I'm under 18 so can I take her alone or do I need an adult?. Thank you

You can take her alone, the consultation should cost between 20-40$, the treatment may vary according to the diagnosis. i would recommend not putting hamsters together in the same cage, they tend to fight a lot.
