My hamster fell from his cage which is high up. We found him on the floor cold and rigid and thought he was dead. 3 hours later hes started to make little noises and twitch. What should we do?

Thanks for reaching out about Maverick. A veterinary visit is recommended, as soon as possible. Wish more advise could be given but medical attention to determine a cause and to assess Maverick now is most important. Good luck.
